CPACE EXAM QUESTIONS AND ANSWERSWhat does the school board do? - Answers -The school board interprets federal and
state standards, regulations and existing policies. Then, the school board makes sure
the school districts are in compliance with them. Further, the school board hires the
superintendents and monitors the superintendents' performance, especially when the
superintendent gives oversight to the schools to make sure the leaders are advocating
for the rights of the students and following the mission and values of the school. The
school board solicits the input of the superintendents in order to make sound decisions.
Also, the school board comes up with the salaries and establishes the policies for hiring
employees, including teachers and paraprofessionals. The school board approves the
school budgets and gives the superintendents the authority to implement and manage
the budget and administrative activities for the school district. The school board helps
get resources for the school if needed. Further, the school board approves plans and
participates in the design of new school constructions and school renovations.

Disadvantage of stanine scores - Answers -Two test results assigned the same stanine

stanine is a type of scaled score ranging from 9 to 1. Stanine scores are usually
described as above average (9, 8, 7), average (6, 5, 4), and below average (3, 2, 1).

same stanine score may be farther apart than two test results assigned different stanine
scores.

Pacesetting leader - Answers -expects and models excellence and self-direction. If this
style were summed up in one phrase, it would be "Do as I do, now." The pacesetting
style works best when the team is already motivated and skilled, and the leader needs
quick results. Used extensively, however, this style can overwhelm team members and
squelch innovation.
authoritative leader - Answers -mobilizes the team toward a common vision and focuses
on end goals, leaving the means up to each individual. If this style were summed up in
one phrase, it would be "Come with me." The authoritative style works best when the
team needs a new vision because circumstances have changed, or when explicit
guidance is not required. Authoritative leaders inspire an entrepreneurial spirit and
vibrant enthusiasm for the mission. It is not the best fit when the leader is working with a
team of experts who know more than him or her.
affiliative leader - Answers -works to create emotional bonds that bring a feeling of
bonding and belonging to the organization. If this style were summed up in one phrase,
it would be "People come first." The affiliative style works best in times of stress, when
teammates need to heal from a trauma, or when the team needs to rebuild trust. This
style should not be used exclusively, because a sole reliance on praise and nurturing
can foster mediocre performance and a lack of direction.
coaching leader - Answers -develops people for the future. If this style were summed up
in one phrase, it would be "Try this." The coaching style works best when the leader
wants to help teammates build lasting personal strengths that make them more
