Abstract
As a superintendent, you will be charged with promoting the success of every student through a shared vision—a vision that you and the district’s constituents agree upon. Standard 1 of the Interstate School Leaders Licensure Consortium (ISLLC) asserts this charge:
An educational leader promotes the success of every student by facilitating the development, articulation, implementation, and stewardship of a vision [emphasis ours] of learning that is shared and supported by all stakeholders. (CCSSO, 2008, p. 14)
