Full Description
Learn how to turn your school board members into heroes by helping them make smart, worthwhile decisions that they will deserve to brag about. In this much-needed book, Ryan Donlan and Todd Whitaker offer practical strategies to help superintendents develop better working relationships with their boards. You'll discover how to:
- reconnect board members to the real purpose of education, despite their agendas
- work with your board more effectively during meetings and at times in between
- guide board members into more productive roles when they overreach beyond policymaking
- connect and communicate with board members regardless of personality
- encourage board members to play to their strengths
- start each school year undefeated and know when it is time to move on.
Each chapter contains hero-making tips to help you get started. The book also includes a special feature on board personalities and the Process Communication Model(R) (PCM), a method that will make it easier to avoid miscommunication with board members. With this practical book, you'll be able to overcome the challenges of the superintendent-board relationship so that your board can make better decisions for those who matter most--the students.
