We are thrilled to be meet- ing together once again this summer and are pleased to be offering the following at our June 2015 Conference: New Board Member Boot Camp: A must for all new charter school board members! This three-hour, intensive training will cover board governance, administrator and board responsibilities and accountability, strategic plan- ning and other board and administrative leadership issues. Continuing Education for Teachers: Our teacher strands of conference were a huge success last year. We listened to your feedback and will continue to offer terrific classes for all teachers. We will be bringing back confer- ence instructors who received our highest ratings based on your feedback. UAPCS will provide continuing education credit for conference attendance for teachers. Pre-Operational and Newly Operational Courses: New this year – a conference strand for those in their Pre-Operational Workshops and newly operational years. Plenty of time will be allowed in these courses for ques- tion and answer with charter school experts who have successfully navigated the waters of new charter school operations. Required Trainings: For your convenience we will also be offering the state vision screening training and an open meetings law class, to assist those in your school who are required to receive this training.
