- An environment that responds to the experiences of the pandemic
- Providing meaningful, supportive leadership in your SBDM role
- On the council
- In the school community
- In daily life

SCHEDULING & FOLLOW-UP
We are happy to bring any of our training to any audience.
In addition to bringing you a complete workshop, we can also offer follow-up facilitation help to apply the ideas to your unique situation or arrange a sequence of activities to move your school forward.
For council training, you may want to consider being a host school or district. As host, you pay for a trainer’s time and transportation, plus materials for your own people. Then KASC publicizes the session and invites folks from other places to attend as well. They pay us a fee, and we share part of that money with your school. This arrangement reduces your costs and allows you to help other schools and individuals in your region of the state.
Let us know how we can help. Call (859) 238-2188 or e-mail.
