| Abstract | The purpose of this study was to determine to what extent superintendents' leadership practices are influenced by the contemporary focus on the "No Child Left Behind Act" of 2001 (NCLB). The authors hypothesized that a national policy as pervasive as "NCLB" would have an impact on how superintendents lead, and they sought to identify specific aspects of leadership that have emerged during the current era of accountability. Results indicated that "NCLB" has had tremendous impact on the work of school superintendents. The political dimensions of the Act have tapped into the emotions and actions of superintendents. Components of "NCLB," such as high-stakes testing, requirements for highly qualified teachers, and success of all subgroups on "NCLB" measures have been some of the greatest challenges. Despite these challenges some (not all) superintendents supported all or part of the Act's intentions and procedures. It was evident from superintendents' comments that implementation of national policy at the local level was complex and layered. (Contains 2 endnotes.) (ERIC). |
