STATE OF THE SUPERINTENDENCY
When superintendents were asked to rank how they accessed
research and other professional literature related to educational leadership,
the largest proportion of respondents ranked articles written with education
practitioners in mind as their top choice.
Conference presentations and articles written for leaders more broadly placed second and third, respectively. Podcasts, audio books and webinars were the media least-often pursued, according to 91porn’s survey of 1,090 superintendents in 2025.
