This comprehensive resource is a must-have for anyone taking the superintendent TExES exam, but it will also be useful to others across the nation and around the world as the Texas standards are closely aligned with those of the Educational Leadership Constituent Council (ELCC).
By breaking down the domains and competencies of the test into manageable components, Wilmore guides readers through personal success plans to superintendent certification.
"Wilmore is known throughout Texas as the guru of helping educators pass the required state certification exams for teachers and practical administrators. Her useful insights and tips have helped hundred of students. I highly recommend Wilmore’s book for anyone who desires a passing score."
"At a time when busy educational leaders must make every minute count, this book is refreshing in its clarity, efficient organization, and commonsense approach! For those aspiring to the higher levels of leadership in an increasingly complex profession, Wilmore’s approach is direct, specific, and attentive to the details that matter and to the knowledge, skills, and dispositions that make a successful school administrator."
"Wilmore has a gift for cutting through what seems confusing to prospective and practicing administrators. Her approach to education administration provides clarity in my day-to-day challenge to make a positive impact on the teachers and students I work with as a school administrator. Read this book."
"Wilmore has hit another homerun! I read Wilmore’s Passing the Principal TExES Exam and found it not only very beneficial in passing the exam, but also very practical and easy to read. Her new book, Passing the Superintendent TExES Exam, is another great resource to help all future administrators not only pass the test, but also fully understand the domains and competencies set forth by SBEC. Wilmore's knowledge, wisdom, and enthusiasm are all evident in this outstanding book that is a must-read for all those interested in passing the exam and entering the wonderful career of school administration."
"Thanks for helping me pass my TExES examination for superintendent. I had taken the test several times and I was frustrated because I would get very close to getting a 240 but kept falling just under that score. Your words of encouragement and the techniques in your book help very much to build my confidence and breeze through the test."
We will be using this text to prepare post-master's students to take the TExEs exam this summer. Dr. WIlmore is a favorite among our students, smart and funny in her advice.
