Join the VSBA for an exclusive three-part webinar series featuring Phil Gore, Chief Learning Officer at the Idaho School Boards Association, as he shares powerful insights and strategies for empowering your board to drive student success. This dynamic series covers three critical areas:

Session 1. Vision with Clear Goals for Student Success: High-achieving school districts are built on high expectations. A clear, collaboratively developed vision for student success is essential to improving student learning. With a focus on creating SMARTer goals—Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound you’ll learn how specific, clearly written goals can chart a path toward shared aspirations for student achievement.

Session 2. Monitoring Progress on Goals: Setting measurable goals is only the beginning. Regularly monitoring progress on these goals gives school boards the leverage to guide district success. Discover how consistent monitoring of student outcomes throughout the year can make a substantial impact on your district. Learn effective ways to discuss progress in board meetings, using student achievement data to enrich discussions and drive continuous improvement.

Session 3. Bonding as a Board and Bridging with Your Community: Studies show that effective board cohesion directly influences student learning outcomes. Explore strategies for strengthening your board’s teamwork to lead effectively for student success. Additionally, learn about the positive impact of engaging your broader community—students, staff, families, and community members—in governance. By bridging the board’s work with community involvement, you can foster a supportive environment that elevates student achievement and narrows achievement gaps.
