Here you will find a list of governance related resources for governing school boards and school board members/trustees. We would like to thank our partners and member associations for sharing these resources and making them available for trustees across the country.
Alberta School Boards Association Trustee Governance Program
The ASBA Trustee Governance Program offered virtually with the University of Calgary is designed to enable and empower trustees to expand their professional knowledge. This program integrates theory and practice of leadership and effective governance. As trustees move through the program, they will learn how to apply meaningful strategies to different tasks and scenarios in their role as a trustee. To learn more, visit the program website.
