NASBE offers several resources to help member boards be more effective and to help individual members get up to speed quickly.
- Boardsmanship Reviews offer practical ideas on how to become a better member of a state board of education.
- Members who are new to their boards and those seeking to refresh their knowledge can refer to the New Member Handbook, a curated selection of NASBE governance resources.
- How does education governance differ from state to state? NASBE regularly updates two resources that detail and track state education governance models.
- For more than 60 years, NASBE has been the only national organization devoted solely to serving state boards of education. Our history is detailed in “NASBE at 60: State Boards Reflect the History of Public Education in America.”
- The NASBE team is always available to help members with technical assistance questions. Find your regional liaison.
“NASBE provides a wealth of benefits that stretch from top-notch, unbiased policy research to professional development and a prominent voice in shaping national education policy. More crucially, it offers a forum where state education leaders from diverse regions and backgrounds can come together and not only learn from one another but create a common vision for public education and what’s best for children, regardless of whether they come.” —Mary Lord, past member of the DC State Board of Education
