What People Are Saying
“On behalf of the Governing Board of the Fortuna Elementary School District, I wanted to offer my sincere thanks for the time taken to present the board governance workshop this past Saturday facilitated through the National Center for Executive Leadership and School Board Development. Every minute of the workshop was time well spent, and our entire board felt as though they learned a great deal about school governance and were delighted with creating their board protocols.”
— Jeff Northern, M.A., District Superintendent, Fortuna Elementary School District
“As a state-wide agency, the Office of Correctional Education of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation requires the alignment of numerous programs and services to our mission, vision, core beliefs, and values. The Strategic Planning process, facilitated by Dr. Hanline, is ensuring that our efforts are scalable and creating accountability.”
“Simultaneously revising the district Strategic Plan for Student Success and developing the Local Control & Accountability Plan was a monumental undertaking. Dr. Hanline facilitated our processes and brought stakeholders together in a collaborative way to create two well coordinated meaningful guiding documents. In addition, the team-building workshops with administrators have boosted leadership effectiveness in our district!”
— Don Davis, Superintendent of Waterford Unified
“We take education seriously - and our time with Bridge the Gap was truly impactful. Even in the virtual environment, they made the material come alive by intentionally engaging us in a conversation and equipping us with ways to have better conversations internally and externally.”
