TOPIC: COMMUNICATING AS LEADERS TO GET THINGS DONE
Dr. Phil Gore / Chief Learning Officer, ISBA
Workshop Description:
We can communicate to inform, persuade, build support, invite collaboration, or empower. This segment invites school board members to practice communication that gets things done. We cover three essential components for that: 1) Clearly identifying a problem with facts and stories, 2) Describing the current impact, and 3) Proposing viable solutions. To do this: 1) We communicate in the terms of the recipient, 2) We demonstrate what is in it for the recipient, and 3) We deliver the message with grace, respect, and conviction.

TOPIC: Monitoring Student Progress
(L to R)
Workshop Description:
School boards and their relationship with each other and their superintendent/charter administrator affect everything about a school system. Research shows a strong relationship between how school boards govern and the likelihood that student achievement is improving. One of the key behaviors of school boards in high achieving systems is monitoring student progress throughout the year. Discover ways your board can do that in a comprehensive and cohesive manner within the proper role of a school board. Become more data-savvy, so your board can help lead for improved student outcomes.
