Board Member Academy
NJSBA's Board Member Academy was created in 1992 to provide formal training for the state's 4,800 local board of education members. Each year, the Academy offers statewide courses designed to build your knowledge base and help you become a more successful board member.
But the Academy is about more than acquiring the basics. Seasoned veterans look to NJSBA for advanced skill development and certification opportunities. In addition to individual courses, board members can earn the designations of Certificated Board Member (CBM), Master Board Member (MBM), and Certified Board Leader (CBL). Boards may also earn the designations of Board Certification (BC), Board Recertification (BR), and Master Board Certification (MBC).
To make learning and earning credits as convenient as possible, credit for Academy certification programs also may be acquired through county, regional and computer-based training programs.
Academy program offerings are continually evaluated and revised so that they remain relevant to board needs. Program content may change from year to year so that different core areas may be covered. Members may repeat programs to satisfy various core areas or to earn credits towards certifications.
You are welcome to bring tape recorders to Academy programs. Please bring only battery-operated equipment as we are not able to provide plugs or cords.
We urge you to dress casually and comfortably. We want you to roll up your sleeves and get involved in training.
