Early Career Coaching Program for Superintendents
What is Early Career Coaching?
The Early Career Superintendent Coaching Program is designed to support Missouri superintendents entering their second or third year in 2025–2026. The goal of the program is to strengthen leadership capacity, improve job satisfaction, and increase retention in the superintendent role.
Each participating superintendent is paired with an experienced retired Missouri superintendent who serves as a coach throughout the school year. Coaches provide 15 to 20 hours of one-on-one support through a mix of in-person and virtual interactions—focused on growth, problem-solving, and leadership development.
Thanks to the ongoing investment from MASA and DESE, this program is provided at no cost to superintendents or their districts. Last year, 107 superintendents from across Missouri participated.
How to Register
Superintendents who will be serving in their second or third year in 2025–2026 are eligible to enroll in the program. To apply, submit the registration form by May 30, 2025.
Note: If you are a current participant, you should have received a re-enrollment survey from Dr. John Jungmann. If you completed that survey, there is no need to register again.
