Ed Blume's Ideas and a Citizens' BOE

The National School Boards Association has written a Key Work of School Boards guidebook, detailing 8 key areas describing what School Boards should be doing, how they should be doing it, with action items, etc.

This is a wonderful site! Their ideas and the details well frames the issues and points in directions which many have been espousing for some time.

From the Forward to Key Works of School Boards:
"In an effort to help local school boards best fulfill their role, the National School Boards Association has created the Key Work of School Boards, a framework for raising student achievement through community engagement.... The framework is based on the premise that excellence in the classroom begins with excellence in the boardroom.... The guidebook provides a framework of eight "key" action areas that successful boards have focused their attention on: vision, standards, assessment, accountability, resource alignment, climate, collaboration, and continuous improvement."

Their presentation gives an overview.
