About the Author: Chuck Namit
Index



About the Author :
Chuck Namit is an education and nonprofit consultant and is president of Strategem, LLC, governance and leadership group that provides training, facilitation, board self-assessment, CEO and superintendent evaluation, CEO coaching, and Values Governance® training services for the public schools and the community. Namit has been a North Thurston Public Schools board of director for twenty-four years and spent nine years as a board member of the Washington State School Directors’ Association (WSSDA)—the state school board association.

Review :
A 2001 Public Agenda survey of school administrators found that 69% of them felt that school board members micromanaged. Anecdotally, this continues as a problem today and likely explains much of our nation’s excessive superintendent turnover. Farrell, Nayfack, Smith & Wohlstetter (“One Size Does Not Fit All”) argue that school board micromanagement is seen as a contributing factor to the perceived failure of American education. Now Elected, Now What?: The Path to Successful School District Governance by Chuck Namit well describes the board’s governance role in a manner that both new and veteran members will appreciate. This is a welcome resource to help board members better understand their role and value to our education system. Chuck Namit has probably done as much or more research on school board governance than anyone else I know. Not only that, but he has taught it and lived it as a board trainer and as a school board director. All-in-all, Chuck Namit has developed a process that boards should consider if they are determined to improve achievement in their district. His work in this area will give them a solid foundation for improving the governance of the school district.Namit uses this book to describe various aspects of school governance and the latest thoughts regarding board decision-making and adds his contribution – Values Governance. As a former University Professor of Educational Leadership I highly recommended Now Elected, Now What? The Path to Successful School District Governance.This publication provides valuable tools and an effective theoretical and hands-on practical foundation for any student who plans to work with non-profit organizations. This book may be appropriately utilized in many of the University level courses preparing graduates for both administrative and governance roles. PowerFULL! An intense collection of practical and proven principles, tactics and strategies. Dive deep with any of the Values Governance elements, then advance enriched with a board warrior’s wisdom. Not for the mild at heart. Dedicated to those pursuing a legacy of excellence. We certainly did not have anything like this book when I was on the school board. It can help make board members real players in their districts and not just rubber stamps for the superintendent and administration. It makes being a board member a more challengingjob because it shows what really should be done—and how to do it.
