Understanding the law that applies to teachers covers many important components that apply to teachers of all disciplines. Beyond providing ample information to teachers, the best part about the training is that the presenters present on all subjects in a manner that a lay person can understand.  And, the discussions are not specific to any region of the state, but are based on state laws as a whole.  Another great feature incorporated into the trainings is that the information includes updates to the laws.  

There is a wealth of information that teachers are interested in receiving, for that reason the Law for teachers training is provided over the course of three days.  Teachers can attend a single day that interests them or attend all three consecutive days. 

Subject content of the three day training includes discussions on:

     ·         Legal foundations;

     ·         Teacher contracts and due process rights;

     ·         Disciplinary action on educator certificates;

     ·         Tort liability;

     ·         Harassment;

     ·         Title IV:

     ·         Copyright issues (print, electronic, video and music);

     ·         First Amendment issues;

     ·         FERPA;

     ·         Privacy Issues;

     ·         PPRA;

     ·         General education laws;

     ·         Student discipline;

     ·         Special Education; and
