The Maryland Superintendent Academy is led by the Public School Superintendents' Association of Maryland (PSSAM) in collaboration with the Region 4 Comprehensive Center (R4CC) It is Maryland's first grow- your- own professional learning opportunity designed to prepare the next generation of Maryland school system leaders. This is the second cohort of aspiring superintendents, representing 20 highly qualified central office and school-based leaders from 14 Maryland school districts. Participants convene monthly to learn effective practices for negotiating a superintendent contract, engage in mock interviews, participate in job shadow experiences, practice developing and managing a budget to move student achievement and create equitable learning experiences, and refine their leadership strengths and core values in preparation for the superintendency. These aspiring superintendents have one remaining convening in March 2024, where they will congregate to celebrate the completion of this professional learning experience and embark on their journey of superintendency.
