Leadership. Experience. Character.

OSBA offers a tool for recruiting and retaining high-quality staff through the Achiever. This nationally benchmarked leadership assessment contributes to successful performance through an advanced personal profile and offers professional development suggestions. OSBA has exclusive rights to this assessment for use by Ohio's public school districts.

Searching for the right superintendent, treasurer or other key administrators? Trying to evaluate how your board can best communicate with each other and work as a cohesive team? The Achiever leadership assessment can be a valuable tool for your district.

The Achiever may be used by districts in three key ways:

1.  As part of the evaluation of candidates for a superintendent or treasurer search.

2.  As part of the evaluation of candidates for central office staff and other key positions.

3.  By the full district governance and leadership team (board, superintendent and treasurer) as a board development activity.

The Achiever is a web-based assessment, analyzing six cognitive learning skills and 10 personality dimensions for each individual. The Achiever creates a comprehensive, multi-faceted profile, providing a comparison to benchmarks created specifically for superintendent and treasurer candidates, other school administrators and board members. A detailed narrative of strength and developmental areas, behavioral-based interview questions and professional development ideas are provided.

The Achiever is included in the cost of an OSBA facilitated superintendent or treasurer search.

For districts that want to use the Achiever for administrator evaluation or team-building, contact Cheryl W. Ryan, Teri Morgan,  Kristine Robbins or Quinn Maceyko at (614) 540-4000 or (800) 589-OSBA for more information.
