School Leadership Team Training
The Office for Family Engagement and Advocacy will be offering borough-wide, two hour trainings for School Leadership Teams in  March. The sessions will cover: Organization and Bylaws; Meeting and Management; and Consensus-Based Decision-Making. We recommend that teams attend training together, however individual members are welcome to attend. This training will satisfy the mandatory training required by Chancellor's Regulation A-655.

Each session can only accommodate 300 people, once we have reached the maximum capacity we will not be able to accommodate any one else for that session.  Participants will have the option to register for another training session that still has space availability.   

To register for the training, please visit: http://schools.nyc.gov/offices/ofea/trng1 If you have trouble registering or need to speak to someone, please call 212-374-4118. Location information will be added as soon as they are confirmed.
