School directors play a pivotal role in leading an agenda for student achievement centering on equity and instructional improvement.  During this workshop, participants will gain an understanding of the current achievement gap and the conditions that need to exist for all students to be successful.

Who should attend?

This two-day workshop is designed specifically for school board members to work in partnership with their superintendent.

What will we learn?

Participants will have the opportunity to learn from nationally-renowned educators and school board members who have successfully established agendas and policies that focus on supporting student learning.  They will engage in an in-depth exploration of closing the achievement gap from the governance level of a school district.  They will also understand the framework of the “will” it takes to lead with an agenda of equity and instructional improvement.

■ Social Will:  The belief that every child can and will learn with appropriate school board leadership.

■ Cultural Will:  The willingness to gain a comprehensive understanding of the population of students with whom we work.

■ Organizational Will:  The institutional initiative to align district infrastructures in ensuring every child is successful.

■ Political Will:  The courage it takes to lead a school district from the governance level in working with local constituents and communities.
