Who should take the course?
CSBA's Masters in Governance program equips board members and superintendents with the knowledge and skills to build and support an effective governance structure.
Why should you take this course?
The retooled program includes the same core governance principles that have made it the standard for board member professional development across the country but with an accelerated timeline, convenient format and program flexibility for busy professionals. The program allows you to complete the program at your own pace.
When you register for one of the five courses, you’ll have access to materials and useful handouts to share with other members of your governance team via My CSBA at www.csba.org. Each course will have pre-course assignments which need to be completed prior to attending the full-day course.
Program modules are offered at various locations statewide throughout the year, allowing participants the flexibility to choose where and when to attend.
More than 2,000 board members and superintendents have participated in CSBA’s highly-acclaimed Masters in Governance program. Ninety percent of graduates strongly recommend this program for governance teams; and more than 80 percent reported that the overall program gave them the knowledge base needed to perform their governance responsibilities.

"Coast2Coast is a nice extension to the advocacy work that I do in the State of California for our schools and students. It's an opportunity to meet with legislators that I see back home in our district, but also to see them on their home turf advocating for issues that are important for public education. Attending Coast2Coast is a fantastic next step for someone who is already participating in advocacy for legislative action and understands what it looks and feels like to advocate. It's a great way to expand your tool kit and take advocacy to the national level."
