Mark Van Clay and Perry Soldwedel of Chica- go returned to the Tehama County Department of Education (TCDE) to facilitate a school board training symposium Sept. 21 with a packed house of school board leaders, administrators, chief busi- ness officers and lead teachers. The event, co-sponsored by TCDE and the Regional System of District and School Support, focused on providing tools and information to help school leaders align their districts to focus on learning in positive and powerful ways. This was a continuation of the information they pre- sented in January, which was on school board governance. "We want to commend everyone who attended for their willingness to participate," said Larry Champion, superintendent of schools. "School board members provide an invaluable service to the children of Tehama County and we commend them for continuously improving the educational oppor- tunities for students." McFadden honored as Feature Teacher Van Clay and Soldwedel have authored several books and presented at locations across the country. In addition, the pair dedicates much of their time to consulting in order to help schools realize their full potential. "No matter how good you are, there's always a lot of potential for improvement," said Van Clay. "Our goal here today is to give you the tools you need to feel good about that job." "There's a tendency to make this process very complex and it really doesn't have to be," Sol- dwedel said. "As we go about doing this work, it is crucial that we keep it simple and meaningful." The symposium offered information on strate- gies, expert presentations, and interactive sessions as well as a copy of the authors' book Aligning School Districts as PLCs.
