These workshops are provided by qualified staff or consultants and customized to meet your specific board development needs. Workshops can be conducted in your district facilities or a retreat setting of your choice. You can also team up with other districts to make the most of your training budget.
In-district workshops and retreats can help you build an effective, cohesive board-superintendent team with agreed upon goals and operating principles. They are especially helpful when you have new members joining the board.
Topics typically requested include:
- Roles and responsibilities
- Developing a board operating protocol
- Board self-assessment
- Superintendent evaluation
- Teambuilding
- Conflict resolution
- Strategic planning
- Student learning and accountability
Cost: Workshops are $600 for a half day (2–4 hours) or $900 for a full day (5–8 hours), plus mileage or other expenses. Consider saving money by scheduling a joint training with nearby districts.
