Most administrative competencies apply to both the principalship and the superintendency. The depth of understanding, knowledge, or demonstrated expertise would vary by certification and/or job assignment (elementary principal vs. superintendent, for instance). For example, the elementary principal should have a better understanding of beginning reading theory, the superintendent a more comprehensive understanding of school finance. Some knowledge in all areas would improve the effectiveness of the administrative candidate regardless of assignment.
