Abstract

Based upon the words of small school-district superintendents, this article explores how superintendents might lead in these complex contexts. In national focus groups, thirty-five participants described their decision-making processes as resting upon doing whats best for students, acknowledging the unique challenges of small school district leadership, and negotiating priorities that are in constant flux. The article offers that being reflective may be the best way to lead in such complexity. Additionally, it provides eight means to honing reflection: time to pause, continuous development, small practical steps for leading, and self-regulation being a few.
