Target Audience:

  1. Assistant Principals – To ensure sufficient school-based coverage, assistant principals have the option to attend on either day (Tuesday, January 31stor Wednesday, February 1st),and all assistant principals are expected to participate. Because the information provided at the beginning of the workshop is vital to all of the follow-up activities, it is critical that participants arrive no later than 15 minutes after a session has started. Attendees will not be allowed in the sessions after the 15-minute grace-period. Please note the time for the session is 12:00 – 4:00 p.m. Please discuss these options with your principals and complete the pre-registration form which can be accessed via the link:

Registration must be completed by Friday, January 27, 2012.(Lunch will be provided from 12:00-12:45 p.m.)

  1. Instructional Teams – Instructional teams will participate the designated days (Thursday, February 2ndor Friday, February 3rd). To maximize our efforts, it is critical that these teams represent diverse professional perspectives and include teacher leaders.
