Abstract | The preparation of school superintendents is critical to improving education, although the process is rife with difficulties. Five problems are treated in this analysis. First, training programs confront dilemmas coordinating the timing of preparation and when superintendents actually take office: synchronization is critical to becoming an effective leader. Second, programs strive to connect theory-based academic degrees (doctorates) and practice: do content, needs, and experiences jell? Third, superintendents need more than a two-year program; they require life-Iong help and instruction. Fourth, superintendents want national and regional learning networks to give them the support and knowledge they need. And fifth, the field seeks an up-to-date knowledge base to ensure that superintendents are kept current in the latest theories of leadership, technology, curriculum theory, law, labor relations, and finance. What is the appropriate role of the university - its formal and informal preparation programs and research - under the watchful eye of the state departments and national groups such as NCATE?
