Whole board development sessions are a great opportunity for boards and district leaders to work together on issues that will improve the board’s effectiveness. Let our team customize a training based on your board’s needs that can be delivered in-person or virtually. Common whole board development topics include:
● Roles & responsibilities
● School finance
● Evaluating the superintendent
● Goal-setting
● Facilities & bond issues
● Board-superintendent relations
● Board’s role in student achievement
● Advocacy
● Budget and legislation (spring only)
● Board’s role in managing change
● Open Meeting Act
● Board retreats
Our programs use facilitators to serve as mentors to the board and superintendent. Facilitators use inquiry and probing questions to guide the leadership team to strategies for confronting and solving problems within an organized framework. In this manner, future issues can be resolved in a thoughtfully reasoned, data-based way using the techniques acquired through board development.
