Take a Breath: Ethics Tips from a Toddler Parent
Just like new parents, school law attorneys have been through it over the past year+. Waiting for change, processing change, and then responding to change at the federal, state, and local levels can cause (and has caused!) significant distress for attorneys professionally and personally. Adjusting to so much change all at once is a challenge. In this one-hour ethics session, attendees will consider how some of life’s lessons outside of the law – such as parenting a toddler – transfer to our duties to serve our clients with diligence and competence (even if they refuse to follow our advice and eat their vegetables).
Presenter: Carmen Bloom, Pennsylvania School Boards Association, Mechanicsburg, PA

Building a Defensible Record: Advising School Officials on Effective Staff Evaluations
Accurate, constructive staff evaluations are critical to both employee growth and sound school district decision-making. This webinar will equip school district counsel to guide administrators in developing and documenting performance evaluations that serve dual purposes: supporting employee improvement and creating a reliable record for any future employment action. Our presenter will discuss best practices for aligning evaluations with district policy and collective bargaining agreements, identifying and describing performance issues objectively, and ensuring the evaluation process withstands legal scrutiny. Participants will gain practical strategies to help school officials draft clear, evidence-based evaluations that protect both the educator’s rights and the district’s interests.
