Overview:

This year-long support program for first-year superintendents will provide a variety of learning opportunities, while also providing a network to enhance your performance as a district leader.  

Invoices for any of these components will not be sent to your new school district until after July 1, 2022, unless otherwise requested.  

This program and its cost are offered in addition to your annual MASA membership dues.

The MASA First-Year Superintendent Support Program consists of two major components:

MASA Administrator Mentoring (AMP) (Cost = $300)

The MASA Mentoring Committee will pair first-year, K-12 superintendents with a mentor for the school year. This program includes 10 hours of face-to-face contact with your mentor.  As part of the process to upgrade your initial certification, this program fulfills the mentoring requirement for DESE.  New K-8 superintendents that have never served as a principal should access a mentor through DESE’s Regional MO Leadership Development Program (MLDS) specialist.  In that case, MASA will be in contact with DESE to help coordinate your K-8 Superintendent / Principal mentor.   Read more .....
