Georgia School Boards Association Winter Conference
Session Title: Mastering the Moment: A Guide to Technology Leadership in Economic Crisis
Date and time: TBA
Presenter: Bailey Mitchell, Forsyth County Schools
Session Description: Educators know that these times are fraught with across‐the‐board cuts that make us question if we can invest in technology at this time. Yet, tough fiscal times also are a time when innovation becomes a necessity. How can your district leadership team get the vision to strategically use technology? How do you break down the silos that keep our school districts from innovation? How can we avoid the “deer in the headlights” syndrome, and creatively using tough fiscal times to create a 21st century educational system.
Session Title: Effective School Board Meetings
Date: Friday, December 4
Presenters:
- Diane Sandifer, former Harris County Board Chair (currently Account Executive, eBOARDsolutions)
- Dr. Susan Andrews, former Harris County Superintendent (currently Muscogee County Superintendent)
Session Description: Often we are instructed on what NOT to do in school board meetings. But, what does a GOOD meeting look like? Collaboration, accountability, and transparency are best practices that should be evident in a school board meeting. Superintendent Andrews and Board Chair Sandifer will demonstrate an example of a professional, successful school board meeting. As they go through a typical agenda, they will model good governance through following a strategic plan, tying each agenda item to the appropriate plan, and addressing the policy making role of board members.
Session Title: Strategic Improvement Planning: A Model for Success
Presenters:
- Mark Willis, GSBA Assistant Executive Director
- Tony Arasi, GSBA Director of Professional Development
Session Description: Does your district have a plan? Is it working? Has your plan become a SPOT (Strategic Plan on the Shelf)? More important than having a plan, do you have a process in place that ensures continuous improvement and execution of the plan? Come learn new ways in which you can systematically approach strategic improvement planning and alignment of your school improvement plans with your district plan. Also, learn how to effectively manage, monitor, and report on your plan to all stakeholders with the eBOARD Strategic Plan Module.
