Each presentation will be topical in nature, based on the typical issues that arise during the school year. In addition, we will utilize a feedback survey prior to each session to ask those planning on attending to offer topics and/or areas of importance to include in the session.
Attendees should be prepared to share their concerns and challenges, and discuss possible solutions, based on the experiences of others who face similar issues.
Developing a Trusting Relationship, Understanding the Role, Expectations, DOE/State Reports, Professionalism, Past Practices, Communication, Liability, Time Management, HR Tasks are just a few focus areas and goals.
