Some examples of Dr. Wright’s available workshops for school boards are:

Local Control Funding Formula
Exemplary Education guides districts through compliance and creating a powerful governing document. We facilitate community forums as we work together to craft a meaningful plan. Dr. Wright was on the front lines in Sacramento when educators traveled to express the importance of local control and the State Board passed the LCFF.
Superintendent Search
With the board’s guidance and support the superintendent is the visionary leader of the district. With over twenty years working with education leaders and being a classroom teacher himself, Dr. Wright understands the critical importance of finding the right candidate for your community. Exemplary Education facilitates listening sessions, identifies priorities, and matches you with candidates for your most important employee.
Superintendent Evaluation
Exemplary Education facilitates the board’s evaluation of the superintendent by asking meaningful questions based on metrics established by the board. We comprehensively compile the responses for a report to the board. Dr. Wright will also be available to provide coaching to the superintendent based on the responses.
Board Evaluation
It is a healthy governance action to self-evaluate their collective work, effectiveness, and responsiveness on the aspirations of the community. Exemplary Education facilitates board self-evaluations. The evaluation is comprehensively analyzed with a thorough report to the board.
More about
Dr. Peter Wright
I started my career as a Kindergarten teacher inspired to ensure all children have exemplary educational support at the start. As a college professor my work crosses between education policy, administration, and politics. As a school board member and a former board president I work every day with the district governance team to guide strategy to identify promising practices for the conditions for great student success and district financial responsibility.
I have taught as an adjunct professor at the University of San Francisco’s Leo T. McCarthy Center for Public Service and the Common Good and at the School of Management since 2013 and spent a year as a Fellow for community engaged teaching and learning. My academic work and interests center on civic engagement and bureaucratic responsiveness, as well as education policy and politics.
I received a Bachelor of Arts degree in politics from Occidental College in Los Angeles and am a former president of the alumni association and trustee of the college. I received a Master of Public Administration degree from the University of Southern California and a Ph.D. in political science from the University of California, Santa Barbara.
