Everywhere we go in the educational world, we hear of the vital need for highly competent, thoughtful, and caring educational leaders. Schools simply cannot thrive in our rapidly changing and demanding world without educators who are willing to step up and lead schools.
To support those who have taken on the challenges of the principalship, SAANYS and the Magellan Foundation, Inc. have developed The New Principals Institute: Investing in Success. The institute will prepare a new principal for a bright beginning, a successful first year, and a new stage in their career. Bringing together veteran administrators as institute facilitators, this year-long institute will provide practical information, strategies, and insights. The institute will take place over four sessions – summer, fall, winter, and spring – and will take educational leaders through that tough first year, covering topics in an appropriate order.

During the course of any day, school administrators deal with a variety of issues requiring a clear understanding of the facts leading to fair judgments and actions. The skill to get to the truth not only makes our decisions better but gives us a peace of mind that we are doing the right thing.

In this workshop, Joe Buckley, President of John E. Reid & Associates, teaches participants the verbal and non-verbal symptoms that are displayed by a person who is telling the truth, as well as those displayed by a person who is withholding relevant information.

Participants will learn:
•    specific strategies that will help indicate who is telling the truth during a non-accusatory interview
•    how to assess the credibiblity off accusation
•    how to persuade a student or another person to tell you thhe truth about what they did
•    the difference between an interview and an accusation
•    some verbal and non-verbal signs people give
•    the primary topics of the Reid Technique – behavior symptom analysis, behavior analysis interviews, and the Reid none steps of interviewing and questioning.

Stop back. Registration will open soon.
