Module #1:
Types of Employee Discipline

This workshop focuses on the most common disciplinary options used in public school districts and charter organizations in Iowa. Participants will review the risks involved when these measures are taken unreasonably or inappropriately before learning about practical, research-supported strategies for minimizing these hazards. Session participants will also begin to collaboratively practice new skills in simulated disciplinary settings while analyzing dozens of video-based re-enactments of actual disciplinary cases from across the country.
