You’ve had your school board meeting, now what? This talk will explore practical ways in which the board can be effective. Please come prepared to share!

How do we decide if a change in policy is needed? What factors influence the need and the outcome of the change? Who makes the decision to change or not to change the policies that are in place? This topic will explore some questions that school boards need to answer to make good decisions.

Devotional: Joel Martin Maintaining Servanthood While Administrating: John Gerber At first thought, it may seem like administration and servanthood are opposites. After all, is it not the administrator’s responsibility to rule the servants? But we see from the perfect example of Jesus and from the examples of the other leaders that and effective administrator is first a servant. How do we serve and lead at the same time?

Effective meetings, whether in businesses, schools, or organizations, are an important part of developing and communicating direction, ensuring the efforts of the organization are aligned and purposeful. This is also true within the context of Christian schools. Private Christian school boards are often a diverse mix of skills and experience levels. How can we effectively harness this group to enhance the running of a Christian School?

What is a disorder? How many are there? And what shall we do about them? “If the school board would just understand how serious this disorder really is…”. “If the parents could just see how they are spoiling their child…” How can we find our way together down the center of this misunderstanding prone, and disorderly path?

In the path of life, do you find yourself walking alongside a man with leadership responsibilities outside of the home such as school and church? Do you wonder how you can be a support and help him to excel in these responsibilities rather than being a drag or competing with what he is called to do? In 1 Peter 3 our attention is drawn to Sarah as a worthy example. Can we draw some valuable lessons, negative and positive, from her life and others?
