Massachusetts Association of School Superintendents
The Massachusetts Association of School Superintendents, originated in 1973, is the only statewide organization dedicated to the unique professional and advocacy concerns of school superintendents and assistant superintendents.
As co-creator of The Dignity Index, Dr. Tim Shriver has asserted that the divisions in our country are not caused by disagreements but by what individuals do and say when they disagree with one another. The Dignity Index, an eight-point scale that ranges from contempt to dignity, provides a tool for applying the principles of dignity to our relationships, schools, communities, workplaces, and country.
