Events for the Month of September, 2024

The Supervisory Leadership Training class will meet together for three consecutive days, September 17-19, 2024. 

During our three days together, we'll cover a wealth of information. At the close of the three days, you'll set a goal for yourself about new skills/practices you want to implement following the training. You will also receive a simple, observational assignment that you can do while completing your normal supervisory work. On October 22nd, we'll all come back together for a 90-minute lunchtime (feel free to bring your lunch to enjoy during the session) discussion and report-out via Zoom. This session will be from 12pm-1:30pm. This added layer of accountability will ensure that what happens in the classroom actually translates to action in your day-to-day. Also, it'll be nice to see one another again!

This ELA cohort will meet in-person in North Kansas City, MO. Classes will start on August 21st and will wrap up on December 13th. Class sessions will be held at the North Kansas City Parks & Recreation Center, located at 1201 Clark Ferguson Drive, North Kansas City, MO 64116.

This ELA cohort will meet in a hybrid format. Classes will start on August 15th and will wrap up on December 12th. 

• On August 15th, September 19th, October 17th, and November 14th, we will meet in person from 9:00am to 4:00pm. On December 12th, we will meet in person for final presentations and a graduation ceremony. 
• On September 5th, October 3rd, October 31st, and December 5th, we will meet online via Zoom with the online cohort from 9:00am to 11:30am and from 1:30pm to 4:00pm. 
• For the online course dates, there will also be an "intermission assignment" of up to 45 minutes for participants to complete on their own between the morning and afternoon sessions. Participants should plan for 60 minutes (on average) of work between each class meeting to prepare for class and complete the required assignments. 

Since this class will meet partially via Zoom, participants must have access to:

• A computer or tablet with a video camera. Participants are strongly recommended to have cameras on as much as possible because seeing one another's faces each class greatly facilitates relationship development.
• A reliable internet connection. 
• The ability to access KU's Canvas system (http://canvas.ku.edu) via an internet browser to access materials and complete assignments. This will work best with Chrome or Firefox as your browser. We will send login information at a later time, but for now just make sure your organization doesn't block access to the site. 
• A location where you can engage without being interrupted. If possible a separate space with a door is preferred, and headphones with a microphone are recommended.

This cohort will meet via Zoom on Thursdays starting on August 22nd and will wrap up on December 19th.

• Class will meet from 9:00am to 11:30am and from 1:30pm to 4:00pm.
