Abstract: The author, Howard Fields, is a man on the move who will undoubtedly be a superintendent in the
next seven years. My first recognition of his potential came at the Kappa Delta Pi 2023 St. Louis
conference where he was one of the keynote speakers. He was the 2020 National Elementary
Distinguished Principal from Missouri. This latter honor was primarily based upon increasing his
elementary school’s Annual Performance Report by 200 percent, thus demonstrating the ability to
“walk the talk.” |
