School Board Effect
Impact of Governing Style on Student Achievement
School Board Governing Styles and Their Impact
Every school board adopts a unique governing style which affects the way the district is managed. This book identifies some of those styles and examines their potential impact on district administration, and ultimately on student achievement.
The Role of School Boards
The book also clarifies the role of school boards in unequivocal terms, discusses board-superintendent relations, and offers several recommendations and critical takeaways for education stakeholders.
Research and Outcomes
The authors' doctoral research which gave rise to this book shows that a school board's governing style has the potential to affect educational outcomes in consequential ways, particularly in urban districts where the greatest impact was observed.
Professional Development Modules
A content outline for a set of professional development modules on school board governance is provided in the book, including an in-depth review of the roles and responsibilities of school boards, and some case studies on board-superintendent interaction.
