Upcoming Events
2011-12 Training and information sharing opportunities will be offered on a variety of topics designed to support School Readiness, Professional and Career Development, Family Engagement, and Collaboration. In cooperation with CHSA, each HS/EHS Grantee will have the opportunity to participate in a survey to determine topics of need. The survey will be out shortly after the CHSA Leadership Institute. Based on information from this survey, trainings, information sharing, and networking opportunities will be developed. Each of these events will be offered at more than one location and at different dates and times. Events will also be offered via webinars. Details will be provided on the events for a six month period to allow grantees to be able to plan for staff participation and maximize use of the trainings.
Be sure to submit your survey to ensure the needs of your program are included.
