Board Officer Institute
Get the training you need to be a focused and productive board officer who can communicate and govern effectively.
As a board officer taking on a leadership role, your governance skills are critical to board-superintendent team effectiveness. To support Texas school board officers in the successful fulfillment of their responsibilities, TASB Board Officer Institute allows you — as an aspiring, new, or current board officer — to find supportive training opportunities to meet your needs.
Board Officer Institute offers two training opportunities. A six-hour training session is held at most TASB conferences, including Summer Leadership Institute and txEDCON. A separate six-week in-depth online training program is offered in January and July. The online session includes six on-demand weekly lessons, weekly 45-minute group sessions, three one-on-one individual coaching sessions, and a three-hour in-district team building session. The online training lessons are offered on demand through the Online Learning Center.
These thoughtful training sessions are designed to expand your confidence with board processes and governance, while also honing your communication skills.
