The VSBA Task Force on School Infrastructure Needs will engage federal, state, and local leaders to ensure the need for increased federal and state resources is recognized as a critical priority.\n\n“I ran for School Board to address pressing capital improvement needs for the schools in my community. I could not see trash cans in the hallways collecting rainwater from the school roof that my siblings would attend and not do all I could to fix that problem. As we seek to have the best schools for our children, our facilities are a critical element.” said Teddy D. Martin, II VSBA President. “While school construction and renovation have been seen as a local issue, we need state and federal support for the many needs across our Commonwealth and to work together to ensure our children’s opportunities are not determined by their zip codes. This task force will spotlight these ongoing issues and recommend how to best leverage all funding opportunities to ensure all our students have innovative, sustainable, safe, supportive environments to cultivate academic success.”\n\nDuring the 2022 session of the Virginia General Assembly, lawmakers discussed the importance of addressing the infrastructure needs of school divisions citing a report released in late 2021 by the Virginia Commission on School Construction and Modernization. The report determined more than half of the Commonwealth’s school buildings are at least 50 years or older. In response to these details, the Commission estimated the cost of replacing over 1,000 aging facilities to be roughly $25 billion.\n\n“The VSBA Task Force on School Infrastructure Needs is confident that progress will occur as parents, community leaders, and policymakers recognize the necessity for each student to attend a modern, safe school,” said David Woodard, Task Force Co-Chair and VSBA President Elect. “In the coming months, the task force will work to find ways to involve the public and private sectors in efforts to create an equitable method to fund school infrastructure in the Commonwealth.”\n\n“I look forward to working with the VSBA Task Force on an issue important to school divisions across the Commonwealth of Virginia.” said Dr. Gregory C. Hutchings, Jr., Co-Chair and Alexandria City, Superintendent. “The General Assembly recently approved a budget containing funding for grants and loans relative to school modernization.

The VSBA Task Force on School Infrastructure Needs will engage federal, state, and local leaders to ensure the need for increased federal and state resources is recognized as a critical priority.\r\n\r\n“I ran for School Board to address pressing capital improvement needs for the schools in my community. I could not see trash cans in the hallways collecting rainwater from the school roof that my siblings would attend and not do all I could to fix that problem. As we seek to have the best schools for our children, our facilities are a critical element.” said Teddy D. Martin, II VSBA President. “While school construction and renovation have been seen as a local issue, we need state and federal support for the many needs across our Commonwealth and to work together to ensure our children’s opportunities are not determined by their zip codes. This task force will spotlight these ongoing issues and recommend how to best leverage all funding opportunities to ensure all our students have innovative, sustainable, safe, supportive environments to cultivate academic success.”\r\n\r\nDuring the 2022 session of the Virginia General Assembly, lawmakers discussed the importance of addressing the infrastructure needs of school divisions citing a report released in late 2021 by the Virginia Commission on School Construction and Modernization. The report determined more than half of the Commonwealth’s school buildings are at least 50 years or older. In response to these details, the Commission estimated the cost of replacing over 1,000 aging facilities to be roughly $25 billion.\r\n\r\n“The VSBA Task Force on School Infrastructure Needs is confident that progress will occur as parents, community leaders, and policymakers recognize the necessity for each student to attend a modern, safe school,” said David Woodard, Task Force Co-Chair and VSBA President Elect. “In the coming months, the task force will work to find ways to involve the public and private sectors in efforts to create an equitable method to fund school infrastructure in the Commonwealth.”\r\n\r\n“I look forward to working with the VSBA Task Force on an issue important to school divisions across the Commonwealth of Virginia.” said Dr. Gregory C. Hutchings, Jr., Co-Chair and Alexandria City, Superintendent. “The General Assembly recently approved a budget containing funding for grants and loans relative to school modernization. This progress makes the work of our task force timely.”\r\n\r\n<strong>Virginia School Boards Association Task Force on School Construction Members:</strong>\r\n\r\nDavid Woodard, Co-Chair\r\nTazewell County VSBA President-Elect\r\n\r\nDr. Gregory C.

Prevention and thorough investigations are the best ways to manage risk and foster a safe and healthy school environment.\r\n\r\nFor the first half of the workshop, participants will learn the basics of Title IX, best practices regarding Title IX policies, and recent case law relating to sexual harassment of students, gender discrimination, and employee training requirements. In addition, participants will walk away equipped with tools to help administrators spot, prevent, and investigate claims of unlawful discrimination, harassment, and retaliation.\r\n\r\nFor the second half of this workshop Sands Anderson will provide the required training for Investigators and Decision-Makers as well as provide board members with an understanding of those roles. The new federal Title IX Regulations effective in August2020 require basic levels of training for school division employees. The Regulations also require so-called "Level II" training for professionals who will serve as school divisions'' Investigators and Decision-Makers as those terms are defined in the Regulations. This training will review the basic level training, but will also focus on the areas of training required for this sub-set of professionals, including topics such as proper investigation, impartiality, relevancy, the use of technology in hearings (if conducted), and the scope of divisions'' educational programs. This second half of the workshop is designed to address the requirements for Level II training.\r\n\r\nHosted by the VSBA and presented by Bradford King and Nicole Cheuk, attorneys with Sands Anderson PC, this timely and important workshop is a must. The workshop will take place from 10:00 AM—12:30 PM.\r\n\r\nThis event earns 1 VSBA Academy Credit point.

The first in Jim Bearden’s 3-part webinar series for VSBA is where you’ll begin defining the components of the culture you want to create in your division. Most organizations have completed some variation on this same exercise, and most of their definitions consist of nice-sounding words and phrases. That’s just our starting point.\nUsing our responses to his pre-webinar questionnaire, Jim will walk us through three steps for translating cultural characteristics (nice-sounding words &amp; phrases) into specific behaviors. Those behaviors include the ones we expect from other division leaders (administrators) as well as those we expect from division employees.\nConsciously creating cultures that support behavior essential to division success is a process. This first step in the process is crucial; it is the foundation on which the subsequent steps are based. In this first webinar, we will lay a solid foundation.\n\n<strong>Part II: </strong>Most organizational leaders have defined the cultures they desire; ones I refer to as their professed cultures. Unfortunately, that’s where most of their conscious efforts to create cultures end. And that explains why so few of their actual cultures bear little resemblance to the ones they’ve defined.\nThe second of Jim Bearden’s 3-part webinar series for VSBA is where you’ll begin developing actionable plans for bringing your defined culture to life, one component at a time. Building on the foundation laid in the 1st webinar, Jim will provide specific guidelines for translating the cultural characteristics you’ve defined into the behavior you expect by:\n<ul>\n 	<li> Identifying &amp; eliminating barriers to that behavior, and</li>\n 	<li>Modeling the behavior you expect</li>\n</ul>\nLeadership matters! Since leadership behavior drives organizational culture, our focus in this and the third webinar will be on the things division leaders—board members and administrators—can do to close the gaps between what sounds good and what gets done.\n\n<strong>Part III:</strong> Consciously creating culture is a process, and one of the things we know about processes is that the new wears off most of them long before they produce the results for which they were begun. When the new wears off, most people’s interest and efforts wane, and the process is either abandoned or simply dies on the vine.\nIn this, the third of Jim Bearden’s 3-part webinar series for VSBA you’ll complete your actionable plans for consciously creating the culture you’ve defined. Building on the steps covered in his 2nd webinar, Jim will facilitate development of leadership behaviors (board member and administrator), for sustaining the process you’ve begun, including:\n<ul>\n 	<li>Measuring performance using expected behaviors as the standards,</li>\n 	<li>Honoring efforts and progress made to meet those expectations and</li>\n 	<li>Confronting unwillingness/bad faith.</li>\n</ul>\nLeadership matters! In the absence of effective leadership, most organizational initiatives will be short-lived, superficial phenomena. By adapting and implementing the steps covered in this webinar series, division leaders will consciously create cultures that support behavior essential to division success. They will close the gaps between what sounds good and what gets done.\n\nContact VSBA to purchase\n\n<hr>\n\n<h3><strong>GOV 206</strong></h3>\n<strong>Being a Brand Ambassador</strong>\n\nWhen you’re trying to get your school division''s message and brand out to the public you probably already know the basics like social media, email marketing and electronic newsletters but there’s a huge resource that many leave untapped: engaging your stakeholders as a brand ambassador!

In this interactive webinar, Patte Barth of NSBA’s Center for Public Education will show you a data decision making process that gives you data questions to guide you as you establish measurable goals, align district resources to those goals, define your policies to meet them, and monitoring your progress.

Introducing an office designed to support parents using the principles of Confidentiality, Independence, Impartiality and Informality (as recommended by the International Ombudsman Association) creates a number of opportunities and challenges for a K-12 environment. Opportunities include a greater sense of transparency, access to information, and identification of trending stakeholder concerns. Challenges include clarity on the role of the ombudsman, limits of confidentiality, and the range of parent concerns. The presentation will highlight the steps taken to clarify the desired outcomes for the establishment of the Office of the Ombudsman, discussions to define the role and requirements of the office, allocation of resources, establishment of office protocols, community response to the office, and a summary of the data and trends from our first year. Responses in the first year of the office were so strong, that the school board added an Assistant Ombudsman for Special Education and expanded the offices duties to include support for all employees.\n\n1 Hour- Free Webinar\n\n<a href="https://youtu.be/W53fKDyF6ZM">Available Here</a>\n\n<a href="https://www.vsba.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/HTO-201-Powerpoint-Slides.pdf">To view the slides, click here. </a>\n\n<hr>\n\n<h3><strong>HTO 202</strong></h3>\n<strong>PBIS: A System-wide Approach to Addressing Social, Emotional &amp; Behavioral Needs in ACPS</strong>\n\nIn an effort to support the academic, social-emotional and behavioral needs of all students, ACPS utilizes a Multi-Tiered System of Support, known as MTSS.  The social-emotional and behavioral component of MTSS is also referred to as PBIS, which is a framework that includes consistent school-wide practices and intervention strategies to encourage positive student behavior.  PBIS also serves to create and maintain positive learning environments for students and staff.  Restorative Practices are a part of this framework. Restorative Practices are based on the principles of Restorative Justice that emphasize the importance of positive relationships as central to building community and involve processes that restore relationships when harm has occurred. Restorative Practices utilize community circles as a Tier 1 practice to build strong positive relationships among all students and staff.  They also teach and model pro-social skills like sharing, listening, empathizing and problem solving which help to create emotionally and physically safe learning environments that promote respect, trust and accountability. This social skills instruction is aligned with the schoolwide expectations promoted by PBIS and the student competencies put forth by the ASCA National School Counseling Model. Together these PBIS and RP practices help to build an inclusive school culture which encourages connectedness among students and staff and shared ownership of the learning environment.\n\n1 Hour- Free Webinar\n\n<a href="https://youtu.be/tOfT1Pys_x4">Available Here</a>\n\n<hr>\n\n<h3><strong>HTO 203</strong></h3>\n<strong>Our Homegrown Culturally Responsive Teaching Model, an Evidence-Based Approach</strong>\n\nParticipants in this webinar will explore the journey of ACPS educators who have participated in a year of training, self-reflection on cultural biases, and application of Culturally Responsive Teaching leading to the production of evidence showing that achievement gaps in their classrooms or school were tackled.  Educators in ACPS are led through this process by peers who have demonstrated expertise as Culturally Responsive Educators, those who have proven to eliminate gaps through their application of the ACPS Three Characteristics of Culturally Responsive Teaching:\n\n(1) Demonstrating a deep understanding of how their cultures interact with the cultures of their students,\n(2) Using relevant curriculum and critical culturally responsive practices to increase rigor for their students, and\n(3) Building learning partnerships with families in service of the academic achievement of their students.\n\nThe Albemarle County Public Schools, Culturally Responsive Teaching model believes that teachers trained as culturally responsive educators should view underachievement not as a student or family problem, but as an instructional one, a personal challenge that our educators are transforming their teaching to address.\n\n1 Hour- Free Webinar\n\n<a href="https://youtu.be/xPwtnHGrt6g">Available Here</a>\n\n<hr>\n\n<h3><strong>HTO 204</strong></h3>\n<strong>What is Construction Management At-Risk (CMAR) and When Should School Boards Consider Using It?</strong>\n\nIn 2017 the state legislature made available another procurement method for public school construction, commonly referred to as “Construction Management At-Risk,” this is a construction project delivery method that has been used by many public and private institutions for many years and is now available to school divisions like yours.

The average delay between the onset of symptoms and intervention is 8-10 years, with the stigma of mental illness being the number one barrier for youth in seeking help.\r\nFaced with this reality, Fauquier County Public Schools implemented a program to encourage and support school staff to become certified in Youth Mental Health First Aid (YMHFA). YMHFA is an evidence-based approach that teaches individuals how to help youth who are experiencing a mental health challenge.  Equipped with the information and skills provided in the YMHFA course, these "Youth Mental Health First Aiders” also help to spread the word that mental wellness is a topic that should be talked about and responded to as naturally as other health concerns. To date, the school division has nearly 500 staff trained in YMHFA. Staff members identify themselves as YMHFA certified by wearing purple lanyards. Join this webinar to learn about the Youth Mental Health First Aid program in Fauquier, including the implementation process and the program’s impact so far. Participants will leave equipped with information and resources to begin a similar program.\r\n\r\n1 Hour- Free Webinar\r\n\r\n<a href="https://youtu.be/N1Q8js2ZaYc">Available Here</a>\r\n\r\n<a href="https://www.vsba.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/HTO-105-Powerpoint-Slides.pdf">To view the slides, click here. </a>\r\n\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>HTO 201</strong></h3>\r\n<strong>Everything You Wanted to Know About Opening a K-12 Office of the Ombudsman</strong>\r\n\r\nIn the Spring of 2018, Fairfax County Public Schools announced that it would be establishing the Office of the Family and Student Ombudsman to offer parents, students, and community members an independent, informal, impartial and confidential resource seeking to resolve concerns, problems, complaints, and other student-related issues. Introducing an office designed to support parents using the principles of Confidentiality, Independence, Impartiality and Informality (as recommended by the International Ombudsman Association) creates a number of opportunities and challenges for a K-12 environment. Opportunities include a greater sense of transparency, access to information, and identification of trending stakeholder concerns. Challenges include clarity on the role of the ombudsman, limits of confidentiality, and the range of parent concerns. The presentation will highlight the steps taken to clarify the desired outcomes for the establishment of the Office of the Ombudsman, discussions to define the role and requirements of the office, allocation of resources, establishment of office protocols, community response to the office, and a summary of the data and trends from our first year. Responses in the first year of the office were so strong, that the school board added an Assistant Ombudsman for Special Education and expanded the offices duties to include support for all employees.\r\n\r\n1 Hour- Free Webinar\r\n\r\n<a href="https://youtu.be/W53fKDyF6ZM">Available Here</a>\r\n\r\n<a href="https://www.vsba.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/HTO-201-Powerpoint-Slides.pdf">To view the slides, click here. </a>\r\n\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>HTO 202</strong></h3>\r\n<strong>PBIS: A System-wide Approach to Addressing Social, Emotional &amp; Behavioral Needs in ACPS</strong>\r\n\r\nIn an effort to support the academic, social-emotional and behavioral needs of all students, ACPS utilizes a Multi-Tiered System of Support, known as MTSS.  The social-emotional and behavioral component of MTSS is also referred to as PBIS, which is a framework that includes consistent school-wide practices and intervention strategies to encourage positive student behavior.  PBIS also serves to create and maintain positive learning environments for students and staff.  Restorative Practices are a part of this framework. Restorative Practices are based on the principles of Restorative Justice that emphasize the importance of positive relationships as central to building community and involve processes that restore relationships when harm has occurred. Restorative Practices utilize community circles as a Tier 1 practice to build strong positive relationships among all students and staff.  They also teach and model pro-social skills like sharing, listening, empathizing and problem solving which help to create emotionally and physically safe learning environments that promote respect, trust and accountability. This social skills instruction is aligned with the schoolwide expectations promoted by PBIS and the student competencies put forth by the ASCA National School Counseling Model. Together these PBIS and RP practices help to build an inclusive school culture which encourages connectedness among students and staff and shared ownership of the learning environment.\r\n\r\n1 Hour- Free Webinar\r\n\r\n<a href="https://youtu.be/tOfT1Pys_x4">Available Here</a>\r\n\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>HTO 203</strong></h3>\r\n<strong>Our Homegrown Culturally Responsive Teaching Model, an Evidence-Based Approach</strong>\r\n\r\nParticipants in this webinar will explore the journey of ACPS educators who have participated in a year of training, self-reflection on cultural biases, and application of Culturally Responsive Teaching leading to the production of evidence showing that achievement gaps in their classrooms or school were tackled.  Educators in ACPS are led through this process by peers who have demonstrated expertise as Culturally Responsive Educators, those who have proven to eliminate gaps through their application of the ACPS Three Characteristics of Culturally Responsive Teaching:\r\n\r\n(1) Demonstrating a deep understanding of how their cultures interact with the cultures of their students,\r\n(2) Using relevant curriculum and critical culturally responsive practices to increase rigor for their students, and\r\n(3) Building learning partnerships with families in service of the academic achievement of their students.\r\n\r\nThe Albemarle County Public Schools, Culturally Responsive Teaching model believes that teachers trained as culturally responsive educators should view underachievement not as a student or family problem, but as an instructional one, a personal challenge that our educators are transforming their teaching to address.\r\n\r\n1 Hour- Free Webinar\r\n\r\n<a href="https://youtu.be/xPwtnHGrt6g">Available Here</a>\r\n\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>HTO 204</strong></h3>\r\n<strong>What is Construction Management At-Risk (CMAR) and When Should School Boards Consider Using It?</strong>\r\n\r\nIn 2017 the state legislature made available another procurement method for public school construction, commonly referred to as “Construction Management At-Risk,” this is a construction project delivery method that has been used by many public and private institutions for many years and is now available to school divisions like yours.

The average delay between the onset of symptoms and intervention is 8-10 years, with the stigma of mental illness being the number one barrier for youth in seeking help.\r\nFaced with this reality, Fauquier County Public Schools implemented a program to encourage and support school staff to become certified in Youth Mental Health First Aid (YMHFA). YMHFA is an evidence-based approach that teaches individuals how to help youth who are experiencing a mental health challenge.  Equipped with the information and skills provided in the YMHFA course, these "Youth Mental Health First Aiders” also help to spread the word that mental wellness is a topic that should be talked about and responded to as naturally as other health concerns. To date, the school division has nearly 500 staff trained in YMHFA. Staff members identify themselves as YMHFA certified by wearing purple lanyards. Join this webinar to learn about the Youth Mental Health First Aid program in Fauquier, including the implementation process and the program’s impact so far.

Introducing an office designed to support parents using the principles of Confidentiality, Independence, Impartiality and Informality (as recommended by the International Ombudsman Association) creates a number of opportunities and challenges for a K-12 environment. Opportunities include a greater sense of transparency, access to information, and identification of trending stakeholder concerns. Challenges include clarity on the role of the ombudsman, limits of confidentiality, and the range of parent concerns. The presentation will highlight the steps taken to clarify the desired outcomes for the establishment of the Office of the Ombudsman, discussions to define the role and requirements of the office, allocation of resources, establishment of office protocols, community response to the office, and a summary of the data and trends from our first year. Responses in the first year of the office were so strong, that the school board added an Assistant Ombudsman for Special Education and expanded the offices duties to include support for all employees.\r\n\r\n1 Hour- Free Webinar\r\n\r\n<a href="https://youtu.be/W53fKDyF6ZM">Available Here</a>\r\n\r\n<a href="https://www.vsba.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/HTO-201-Powerpoint-Slides.pdf">To view the slides, click here. </a>\r\n\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>HTO 202</strong></h3>\r\n<strong>PBIS: A System-wide Approach to Addressing Social, Emotional &amp; Behavioral Needs in ACPS</strong>\r\n\r\nIn an effort to support the academic, social-emotional and behavioral needs of all students, ACPS utilizes a Multi-Tiered System of Support, known as MTSS.  The social-emotional and behavioral component of MTSS is also referred to as PBIS, which is a framework that includes consistent school-wide practices and intervention strategies to encourage positive student behavior.  PBIS also serves to create and maintain positive learning environments for students and staff.  Restorative Practices are a part of this framework. Restorative Practices are based on the principles of Restorative Justice that emphasize the importance of positive relationships as central to building community and involve processes that restore relationships when harm has occurred. Restorative Practices utilize community circles as a Tier 1 practice to build strong positive relationships among all students and staff.  They also teach and model pro-social skills like sharing, listening, empathizing and problem solving which help to create emotionally and physically safe learning environments that promote respect, trust and accountability. This social skills instruction is aligned with the schoolwide expectations promoted by PBIS and the student competencies put forth by the ASCA National School Counseling Model. Together these PBIS and RP practices help to build an inclusive school culture which encourages connectedness among students and staff and shared ownership of the learning environment.\r\n\r\n1 Hour- Free Webinar\r\n\r\n<a href="https://youtu.be/tOfT1Pys_x4">Available Here</a>\r\n\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>HTO 203</strong></h3>\r\n<strong>Our Homegrown Culturally Responsive Teaching Model, an Evidence-Based Approach</strong>\r\n\r\nParticipants in this webinar will explore the journey of ACPS educators who have participated in a year of training, self-reflection on cultural biases, and application of Culturally Responsive Teaching leading to the production of evidence showing that achievement gaps in their classrooms or school were tackled.  Educators in ACPS are led through this process by peers who have demonstrated expertise as Culturally Responsive Educators, those who have proven to eliminate gaps through their application of the ACPS Three Characteristics of Culturally Responsive Teaching:\r\n\r\n(1) Demonstrating a deep understanding of how their cultures interact with the cultures of their students,\r\n(2) Using relevant curriculum and critical culturally responsive practices to increase rigor for their students, and\r\n(3) Building learning partnerships with families in service of the academic achievement of their students.\r\n\r\nThe Albemarle County Public Schools, Culturally Responsive Teaching model believes that teachers trained as culturally responsive educators should view underachievement not as a student or family problem, but as an instructional one, a personal challenge that our educators are transforming their teaching to address.\r\n\r\n1 Hour- Free Webinar\r\n\r\n<a href="https://youtu.be/xPwtnHGrt6g">Available Here</a>\r\n\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>HTO 204</strong></h3>\r\n<strong>What is Construction Management At-Risk (CMAR) and When Should School Boards Consider Using It?</strong>\r\n\r\nIn 2017 the state legislature made available another procurement method for public school construction, commonly referred to as “Construction Management At-Risk,” this is a construction project delivery method that has been used by many public and private institutions for many years and is now available to school divisions like yours.

Yet there are non-college goers who fare as well, and in many cases, better than their college-going peers. New research from NSBA’s Center for Public Education shows that the right preparation in high school – one that combines high-level academics with modernized CTE  – yields benefits in terms of wages and good jobs at age 26 that compete with four-year degree holders. Moreover, the benefits convey to college goers, too.

Yet there are non-college goers who fare as well, and in many cases, better than their college-going peers. New research from NSBA’s Center for Public Education shows that the right preparation in high school – one that combines high-level academics with modernized CTE  – yields benefits in terms of wages and good jobs at age 26 that compete with four-year degree holders. Moreover, the benefits convey to college goers, too.

The first in Jim Bearden’s 3-part webinar series for VSBA is where you’ll begin defining the components of the culture you want to create in your division. Most organizations have completed some variation on this same exercise, and most of their definitions consist of nice-sounding words and phrases. That’s just our starting point.\r\nUsing our responses to his pre-webinar questionnaire, Jim will walk us through three steps for translating cultural characteristics (nice-sounding words &amp; phrases) into specific behaviors. Those behaviors include the ones we expect from other division leaders (administrators) as well as those we expect from division employees.\r\nConsciously creating cultures that support behavior essential to division success is a process. This first step in the process is crucial; it is the foundation on which the subsequent steps are based. In this first webinar, we will lay a solid foundation.\r\n\r\n<strong>Part II: </strong>Most organizational leaders have defined the cultures they desire; ones I refer to as their professed cultures. Unfortunately, that’s where most of their conscious efforts to create cultures end. And that explains why so few of their actual cultures bear little resemblance to the ones they’ve defined.\r\nThe second of Jim Bearden’s 3-part webinar series for VSBA is where you’ll begin developing actionable plans for bringing your defined culture to life, one component at a time. Building on the foundation laid in the 1st webinar, Jim will provide specific guidelines for translating the cultural characteristics you’ve defined into the behavior you expect by:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li> Identifying &amp; eliminating barriers to that behavior, and</li>\r\n 	<li>Modeling the behavior you expect</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nLeadership matters! Since leadership behavior drives organizational culture, our focus in this and the third webinar will be on the things division leaders—board members and administrators—can do to close the gaps between what sounds good and what gets done.\r\n\r\n<strong>Part III:</strong> Consciously creating culture is a process, and one of the things we know about processes is that the new wears off most of them long before they produce the results for which they were begun. When the new wears off, most people’s interest and efforts wane, and the process is either abandoned or simply dies on the vine.\r\nIn this, the third of Jim Bearden’s 3-part webinar series for VSBA you’ll complete your actionable plans for consciously creating the culture you’ve defined. Building on the steps covered in his 2nd webinar, Jim will facilitate development of leadership behaviors (board member and administrator), for sustaining the process you’ve begun, including:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Measuring performance using expected behaviors as the standards,</li>\r\n 	<li>Honoring efforts and progress made to meet those expectations and</li>\r\n 	<li>Confronting unwillingness/bad faith.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nLeadership matters! In the absence of effective leadership, most organizational initiatives will be short-lived, superficial phenomena. By adapting and implementing the steps covered in this webinar series, division leaders will consciously create cultures that support behavior essential to division success. They will close the gaps between what sounds good and what gets done.\r\n\r\nContact VSBA to purchase\r\n\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>GOV 205</strong></h3>\r\n<strong>Being a Brand Ambassador</strong>\r\n\r\nWhen you’re trying to get your school division''s message and brand out to the public you probably already know the basics like social media, email marketing and electronic newsletters but there’s a huge resource that many leave untapped: engaging your stakeholders as a brand ambassador! One of the best ways to get the word out about your school division is by getting in touch with your target audience and leveraging them to embrace your brand. In other words, by building a brand ambassador program.
