When students, parents, and community members enter a district or school, they want to feel welcome, appreciated, and assured that their needs will be met. This positive culture begins at the front desk and extends to every member of the staff.

  • Learn the best way to handle student and parent complaints.
  • Provide exceptional service to meet the needs of parents, students, and community members.
  • Communicate more effectively with parents and colleagues.
Encourage staff members to partner together to accomplish the work of the school or district with this program.
Includes posttests at the end of each course that are automatically graded as well as transcripts and course certificates that teachers can access to document their training.

STRATEGIES TO AWAKEN THE LEARNER (DR. ROBERT MARZANO)
This digital workshop is based on the idea that we all have four systems: knowledge, cognitive, metacognitive, and self; working in our minds at any given moment. While K–12 education has traditionally done a solid job of focusing on the knowledge and cognitive systems, the metacognitive and self-systems have often been neglected. This video will help teachers understand, appreciate, and address these other two systems, particularly the self-system, in order to reach the whole child and awaken each and every learner in the classroom.  Included is a handout to accompany the video.
