Many principals and other school leaders began their careers as educators - not as managers. Often, they have never received effective tools for supervising and leading their staff to success. This results in issues with teacher and staff retention and engagement, and can even put the district at risk of litigation.

McGrath's TRUE-SPEAK™ Communication System gives leaders the practical tools and skills they need to confidently lead others with their heart, while thinking with their head.

The Document, Discipline, Dismiss Course is a condensed version of our popular Succeed with TRUE-SPEAK™ Foundations Course that focuses on addressing performance issues.

It provides a communication framework and easy-to-use tools for the safest ways to minimize risk when disciplining and/or terminating employees. Performance, supervision, discipline, and termination issues are addressed with a legally fit and educationally sound method that instills employee responsibility for quality performance and produces the appropriate paper trail.

Participants learn:
- how to address employee performance issues with legally-fit and educationally sound documentation;
- the skills needed to effectively deal with difficult performance-related issues;
- tools for consistent compliance with due process and just cause standards;
- how to distinguish between management rights and employee rights; and,
- ways to effectively communicate verbally and in writing.


The cost of the one-day training is $495 per participant and includes training materials, license agreement and access to the TRUE-SPEAK™ online tool.
