School Law Boot Camp
August 2 & 3, 2022
Presented by the SRI&ETTC
|
|
Today’s school leaders work in a dynamic, fast-paced school law environment. Each day brings new changes in statute, code and case law. Administrators, whether veteran or new, are challenged to keep up with the changes. In these intensive School Law workshops participants will review current legal standards on Student Rights, Employer and Employee Rights, and Special Education. There will be an emphasis on HIB and recent special education decisions.
Day One: HIB Including Social Media and Student Rights and First Amendment Rights
Tuesday, August 2, 2022, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The HIB Including Social Media module will focus on the new HIB regulations. We will go back to the basics and move forward to review relevant school law cases. Participants will learn to apply the law, review the legal standards and discuss proper investigation documentation. The module will focus on student rights and responsibilities, including constitutional rights such as freedom of speech, disciplinary actions, social media, 24/7 rule, student athletic contracts, and transgender rights.
In this module we will also review Special Education with a concentration on the district’s roles and responsibilities, Section 504 Plan students, including an emphasis on development of the IEP, home-instruction and graduation.
Day Two: New Legal Considerations in K-12 including COVID and Employee Rights Including New Non-Certificated Rights Law
Wednesday, August 3, 2022, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The New Legal Considerations in K-12 including COVID module will discuss considerations surrounding laws and regulations enacted during the COVID state of emergency, and what powers/tools districts have to address emergency situations.
The Employer and Employee Rights module will focus on employer and employee rights and responsibilities, including constitutional rights such as freedom of speech, disciplinary actions, grievances, tenure charges, non-renewals, and reductions in force, among other topics. This interactive workshop will include mock tenure charges where we will walk you through the tenure charge process, concentrating on the district’s roles and responsibilities. We will apply the law, review the legal standards and discuss proper documentation.
School Law Boot Camp will be presented by Mr. William S. Donio, Esq., Cooper Levenson and Ms. Amy L. Elco, Esq., Cooper Levenson.

Making the Mentoring Process More Meaningful
August 17, 2022
|
|
Effective May 5, 2014, the NJ Teacher Mentoring Regulations have been amended to better align with the TEACHNJ Act, and specifies that mentors need training prior to working with novice teachers and guiding experienced teachers that are new to the district.
In this workshop, mentors will explore the mentoring process and understand the requirements for working with novice teachers. Practical strategies, skills, information, and resources will be discussed that will help them to successfully mentor novice teachers and positively impact their professional growth. Through role playing, communication skills, and knowledge of adult learning principles, mentor teachers will be provided with resources that will not only help them to become effective mentors and role models, but will also expand their own professional expertise.
This workshop is being offered as a hybrid course, delivery options are live online via Zoom or in-person at the SRI&ETTC. Once your registration is received, we will be reaching out to see which delivery method is preferred.

THE SEI ONLNE
A Free 15-Hour Course on Sheltered English Instruction
Developed by the SRI&ETTC Funded by the NJ Department of Education
|
|
Educating students who still are acquiring English proficiency can be complex in an age of high stakes evaluations and assessments as well as college and career-ready standards. English language learners (ELLs) are not monolithic in their educational background, cultural experiences, and ability to adapt to learning environments. However, through well-planned instruction, ELLs can attain challenging academic standards.
