Product Description
Very little is known about how superintendents respond to and view the challenges brought about by increasing external performance demands on their schools. This important study uses a multi-case study format to create portraits of five rural superintendents, the challenges they face and their responses to those challenges.

The superintendents were most proud of changes they had made to improve instruction in their districts. They spoke of challenges with bringing professional development to teachers in isolated rural areas; declining enrollment and closing schools; federal mandates; school facilities; serving in multiple roles; and state bureaucracy.

Administrative responsibilities are divided among the staff. A classified administrative assistant helps team with paperwork and meeting work load. In the fall of 1990, five district educators approached Dr. Chip Zullinger, Superintendent of Natrona County School District, with the idea of beginning a new, innovative school. Dr. Zullinger was intrigued with the idea and invited them to make a presentation to a group of community business leaders interested in supporting school change. These business leaders approached the Board of Trustees and requested permission to oversee a request for a proposal process encouraging the creation of innovative school projects. Thirty-nine proposals were submitted. Woods Learning Center was one of the three selected for implementation in the fall of 1991. WLC originally opened as a K 6 school.
