Join us on Tuesday, November 10th at 12:00 PM (CST) for a webinar with Donald Berner, Kansas Attorney specializing in Employment & Labor law.
This webinar will explore how school boards and district leaders can enter negotiations with a clear understanding of their priorities, communicate effectively, identify areas of common ground, and work through difficult issues while keeping student learning and academic achievement at the center of the conversation.
Teacher negotiated agreements can be challenging for school boards and district leaders, particularly when priorities, expectations, and perspectives differ. The discussion will focus on practical tools, real-world experience, and collaborative approaches that can help school boards, administrators, and teachers move toward solutions that support effective teaching, responsible stewardship of district resources.
The goal is not simply to reach an agreement, but to build a collaborative process that strengthens relationships, supports teachers, and creates the conditions for lasting improvements in academic achievement.
