Leadership Succession Planning Guide for Maryland Schools

Leadership Succession Planning Guide for Maryland Schools - "The Leadership Succession Planning Guide for Maryland Schools consists of three sections. The first is titled Catalyst for Conversation, and its purpose is to stimulate conversations about leadership succession in school systems. The second section is titled Outline for Planning. It is intended to take school system leaders beyond the conversation in a concrete manner as they develop their own succession plans. The third section is titled Succession Plan for Example School System, and it offers an example of what a succession plan could be. Although the example addresses each aspect of the outline, we are not suggesting that a system would necessarily approach succession planning in that manner. The school system narrative offers an example, not a model; it is an explanation of possible succession actions according to the outline. We would welcome opportunities to pilot aspects of the outline and/or example with district leaders or to work with systems to develop any aspect of the Planning Guide."
