Complete your pre-class self-assessment survey:
The survey should take you about 20-30 minutes.
I will use your answers to help shape the class. This is not a test, so please be candid! Please note that a survey summary will be shared with your organization for trends analysis, but comments will not be attributed to individuals.
Before the class:
Check out our tips for getting set up for class, here
We have tons of templates and other resources to download ahead of time, using the "Download Instructions" document to download the zip file. Please note that these templates are for your personal use only and not for sharing or distribution within your school or district.
Block time on your calendar for follow-ups and implementation.
After classes, participants often need time for reflection and to fully implement changes to their systems.
I recommend blocking off at least 1 – 2 hours on your calendar – either in the evening or the following day.
