This qualitative research study examined how the role of the superintendent is influenced by state and federal accountability initiatives. This study also examined how superintendents utilize state and federal accountability initiatives to create or enhance their own role. How superintendents respond to "role taking" and "role making" in the context of state and federal accountability mandates was the focus of this study. Three primary research questions were addressed: (1) How do superintendents define accountability as it relates to state and federal initiatives? (2) How do superintendents respond to the expectations mandated by state and federal accountability initiatives (role taking)? (3) How do superintendents utilize state and federal accountability initiatives for creating or enhancing their own role (role making)?

520 $a This qualitative research study examined how the role of the superintendent is influenced by state and federal accountability initiatives. This study also examined how superintendents utilize state and federal accountability initiatives to create or enhance their own role. How superintendents respond to "role taking" and "role making" in the context of state and federal accountability mandates was the focus of this study. Three primary research questions were addressed: (1) How do superintendents define accountability as it relates to state and federal initiatives? (2) How do superintendents respond to the expectations mandated by state and federal accountability initiatives (role taking)? (3) How do superintendents utilize state and federal accountability initiatives for creating or enhancing their own role (role making)?
520 $a Qualitative research methodology was used to investigate the questions of the study. The approach used was multicase, which analyzed primary data from interviews with three superintendents as well as analyzed written documents. Written documents included legislative bills and policies pertaining to accountability, newspaper articles, official district documents, and other district-written sources.
520 $a It was believed that the reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 2001 would put heightened pressure on superintendents to increase student achievement for all students. However, the current research findings indicated only slight pressure from the Utah Performance Assessment System for Students and the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 to increase student achievement. The data also indicated that accountability initiatives did not influence how the three superintendents assumed or created their roles. Furthermore, the data indicated that background and prior experiences were more influential than accountability initiatives in how each superintendent assumed or created his role.
