“Superintendents must teach board members and absolutely avoid telling them what they are doing is wrong. To teach board members means that the superintendent needs to create professional development and team building opportunities for board members that bring them together and facilitate the development of a functional and successful governance team.”

— Walt Hanline, Ed.D.


Testimonial


Jane Shamieh, Superintendent of Vacaville Unified School District, shares her experience working with Walt Hanline, Ed.D., Executive Director and Founder of the National Center.

Walt came in and did a workshop with our Board, developed protocols, which was great! After that, I could talk to him about issues with Board members. He knew them really well because he worked with them.
