Why the Emphasis on Training?

From administrators and instructional staff to governing board members and school developers, a broad range of professionals attend our annual conference, making this event a particularly ideal time to not only provide in-depth training for key stakeholders (e.g. principals, CFOs, board members, teachers, etc.), but also to provide strong and varied cross-functional training. For example, through our trainings and workshops, CFOs can better understand the oversight responsibilities of their governing boards, and administrators can learn how to implement impactful instructional methods.

Good employees are hard to find—but likely to stay if you help them grow.

Pore over the pages of the major educational research journals and you will find no shortage of studies indicating that turnover in the education sector remains especially high. But you will also likely find that quality professional development continues to be one reliable tool for retaining your best and brightest staff. While your school may choose from a variety of annual conferences, the Charter Schools Leadership Update Conference remains unique for our dedication to supporting all charter school staff, and devoting a significant portion of our conference to providing high quality, in-depth trainings and workshops.

Fulfill your staff's Professional Development needs in one place.

Because our conference trainings and workshops are geared towards a wide range of charter school staff, your school can train all key personnel in one place, saving your school the time of researching and registering for numerous other events, and sparing your school the expense of third-party in-services.
