EMPLOYEE DISCIPLINE IN AN EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENT (KASA)

Learn how to better manage your certified and classified employees as you work to increase student achievement!

In November 2008, the American School Board Journal asked the Council of School Attorneys to identify the most common types of legal issues faced by 21st Century Schools. Overwhelmingly, the group ranked employment- related issues such as teacher discipline, workplace discrimination and termination number one on that list.

During Types of Employee Discipline, participants will focus on the most common disciplinary options used in schools and districts as they consider ways in which disciplinary measures may create legal risk when used in either an unreasonable or an inappropriate manner. As an important part of this workshop, participants will also analyze video-based re-enactments of actual disciplinary cases to apply practical, research- supported strategies for minimizing disciplinary risk in an "offline" environment.
