CPLS Tools

Our collaborative aims to develop timely guidance, tools, examples, and resources for superintendents that are easily accessible and utilized in collaborative members’ own work.

Civic Leadership Framework Thought Paper

In this paper, we provide an overview of today’s political landscape, offer an emergent framework that captures the knowledge, skills, and dispositions necessary for superintendents to be successful as political leaders, and share our next steps.

Playbook

To increase access to specific ideas for navigating today’s politics, superintendents need tangible examples, tools, and resources. They need a flexible playbook that can help them navigate politics effectively in their own communities with consideration to regional and local context. The CPLS playbook will focus on local politics, but include resources for self-reflection and information about how to educate oneself on state and national politics as well.

Preparation Program
and Association Resources

In many support programs, superintendents bring timely problems of practice for feedback. This is an excellent routine that could be enhanced with new tools for analysis, especially tools that help to discern the political pressures at play.
