I need examples of administrative philosophies or platfroms from
principals or school superintendents

Request for Question Clarification by czh-ga on 05 Nov 2003 12:46 PST

Hello ernies2-ga,

I?ve started researching your question and I?ve found examples of
philosophy statements that apply to school administrators, principals
and superintendents. The philosophy statements are usually issued by
the school board not the administrator, principal or superintendent.
Will such documents meet your needs? How many examples will be a
satisfactory answer? The more information you can give me about the
context of your research, the more likely I will be able to find you
exactly what you need.

I look forward to your clarification.

Hello ernies2-ga,

I?ve collected a variety of philosophy statements from public and
private schools at all levels from K-12 as well as a few international
schools. As I indicated in my prior message, the philosophy statement
is most often promulgated by the board of education on behalf of the
district or school superintendent or principal.

I hope the samples I?ve provided will give you a good overview of how
schools approach writing a philosophy statement. I note that most of
the time these statements are coupled with a mission and/or goals
statement.

Best wishes for your project.

SEARCH STRATEGY
===============

"philosophy statement"
"philosophy statement" superintendent
"philosophy statement" principal
"philosophy statement" school administration

It was not what I needed.  I was very clear I wanted platforms of
superintendents or principals.  I didn't want board global statements
