SNHS CCR&R has created the GPS (Growing Professional Series) for those educators seeking more advanced and extended learning opportunities. The intent of a GPS learning opportunity is to provide educators with time to directly focus on a specific topic or area of interest. Participants are required to attend all trainings within the series and will be applying directly what they learn from the initial training into their practice. The second training will give those participants the opportunity to reflect upon their experiences while extending upon the topic. For this series, this GPS is geared to administrators, directors, and those serving in a leadership role. Participants will be looking into Emergency Planning and Preparedness and how it pertains to the Incident Command System. There will be an Extended Learning Opportunity attached to this series as well, which will provide participants with additional hours online through fema.gov. Dates are March 8 and March 22nd.
