Abstract	In October 2008, the American Association of School Administrators invited superintendents of the year from across the country to gather in Denver, Colo., for three days of intensive dialogue about the challenges facing today's district leaders. Representing rural, urban and suburban districts, state award winners came to listen, share best practices and talk candidly about lessons learned that focused on how they transformed their public schools. While their approaches varied, the end result was the same: improved learning, teaching and achievement for students. Moving from a new, promising idea to its effective implementation districtwide is a huge challenge. If done poorly, transformation can quickly backfire and stir upheaval in the ranks, break a sacred trust with the community or even cost a superintendent his or her job. Transformation requires a well-thought-out approach, bold leadership and patience. And we are just getting started. This publication captures the best thinking of those attending the Superintendent of the Year Forum and examines the elements of successful transformation. (ERIC).
