• In Event: Research on the Superintendency SIG Paper Session

Abstract

The purpose of the current study was to gain the self-reflections and insights from leading rural K-12 superintendents on their use of oral language to accomplish the work of the superintendency. The results of this quantitative study identified that superintendents talk over 74% of the time to accomplish the work of the superintendency and when working with internal and external stakeholders superintendents preferred working with internal groups versus external ones.
