• Providing orientation sessions for all new school board members;
  
  
• Providing programs to keep school board members informed on educational issues and trends;
  
  
• Facilitating retreats for local boards to assist them in planning, teaming, and public deliberation;
  
  
• Developing an  intensive leadership training program focused on the Key Work Model to provide continuing education to school board members;
