On Oct 9, 2014, NASBE co-hosted the joint policy webinar, “Key Strategies for Effective Educational Leadership Policy”, looked closely at ways to strengthen school leadership using various policy avenues.
Policy Partners from CCSSO, NASBE, NCSL, and NGA shared school leadership topics that are currently relevant for each organization and named issues states will likely experience in the upcoming school year. The representatives are,
Cortney Rowland, Senior Policy Analyst, National Governors Association,
Francis Eberle, Deputy Executive Director, National Association of State Boards of Education,
Julie Bell, Group Director, National Conference of State Legislatures, and
