Continuing Education LTS provides continuing education on a variety of topics related to the board's basic governance responsibilities. Continuing education on these topics is available at scheduled TASB training events and can be made available in some education service centers. In addition, LTS presents these topics in individualized in-district workshops and in multidistrict cluster workshops organized and hosted by a local school district. In-district workshops allow for discussion geared to local district practices and needs and end in suggestions for improvement in the district. Longer workshops allow the board-superintendent team to plan for improved performance and identify continuing education needs.
Emphasis is on the nuts and bolts of team operations, procedures, and communication.
The focus is on understanding and strengthening new working relationships and on identifying the immediate team and district issues the team will need to address in the upcoming six months. The session concludes with development of an action plan to build a stronger team. Clearly defined operating procedures can be a good way for a board-superintendent team to increase efficiency and avoid misunderstandings. At the end of this session, the board-superintendent team will have developed four to six team operating procedures and will have a process in place for developing additional team procedures when needed. Leadership Team Services also offers a wide range of planning services to local districts.
