Speaker and School Board Member Amber Fulton specializes in presenting key-note addresses, workshops, team-building activities, and staff development to scvhool boards throughout Texas.

Amber Fulton is a registered provider of continuing education for school board members with the Texas Education Agency, and thus attendees can earn valuable credits for their participation. As a volunteer presenter for TASB (Texas Association of School Boards), a graduate of TASB’s Leadership program, and a school board member herself, Amber brings a valuable perspective and real-life examples to her training.

Following TEA’s, “Framework for School Board Development,” Amber can assist school boards in assessing their development needs in each of the 5 core content areas: Vision, Structure, Accountability, Advocacy, and Unity.

Sessions range from one hour overviews on the 5 content areas to in-depth workshops on the Board’s approach to a specific challenge. School Board members can also partner with their Superintendent to complete the three hour, Tier 2, “Team Building” training that is required annually by Texas statute.

Required Team Building for School Boards

Constructing a firm foundation and continuing to foster strong relationships are essential for teams in today’s fast-paced environment. Amber Fulton and Associates can assist your team with developing and refining a Vision or Mission statement, setting meaningful and achievable goals, identifying successful strategies to meet those goals, and establishing milestones for monitoring progress.

• Newly formed teams (or those with new members) will benefit from getting to know their teammates in a relaxed and casual atmosphere.

• Teams facing the challenge of transition or change will develop a new appreciation for their fellow members, and discover how to utilize each other’s strengths during times of uncertainty.

• Even seasoned teams can advance to a new level of camaraderie by participating in activities and exercises designed to further the team relationship.
In order to ensure an experience that is ideal for your team, sessions can be custom-designed to meet your exact specifications. We will invest in your experience by advance contact with key participants to clarify expectations and desired outcomes. The result will be a session that is truly tailored to your collaborative requirements.
Session times are variable and based on the methods recommended to achieve satisfactory results.

A firm foundation may prevent conflict from appearing, but should a situation arise that becomes difficult to handle internally, mediation sessions may be the answer. A mediator is a neutral third-party concerned only with aiding participants in reaching a solution that is amenable to everyone. Contrary to what we have been socialized to believe, there really are “win-win” solutions to seemingly impossible situations. Conflicting parties may participate in a safe and confidential session to address their concerns, and ideally to resolve the issues once and for all.

In most routine situations, results can be achieved in a single, half-day session. For more complex situations, or those involving multiple groups or issues, full-day sessions may be required.
