Great Prairie AEA is thrilled to offer three exciting opportunities for evaluator courses and Fierce Conversations training this summer. Led by the experienced instructor, Anne Morgan, all sessions will be conducted via Zoom and are open to individuals from across the state who wish to participate.
- Fierce Conversations is designed to enhance your skills in leading and engaging in effective conversations. It equips you with the tools to navigate important discussions successfully.
- Investigations focuses on conducting investigations related to bullying/harassment, as well as covers Level 1 of Chapter 102. Throughout the sessions, guest attorneys will provide valuable insights, taking you deeper into relevant topics. There are two sections of the same class. In case of scheduling conflicts, participants may switch to a different class session on the same day of the rotation, provided there are enough participants to facilitate the class.
Districts that prefer to have their entire team take the Investigations course simultaneously are asked to contact Anne Morgan with Great Prairie AEA to arrange dates. A minimum of 10 participants is required for this arrangement.
