"This professional development has been rated one of the best workshops by administrators that they have attended through their professional careers." |
Dr. L. Bailey, Director of Human Resources |
"I have found the progressive discipline rubrics invaluable and have been using them to “check” my evaluative skills regarding various discipline measures already made (and to be made) and have been very pleased that I have been on target. I greatly appreciate using algorithms as support especially when each criterion is clearly and objectively worth consideration." |
Dr. A. Hanson, Classified Relations |
"In the years after our district had put its Employee Code of Conduct into place, we had 15 EEOC complaints. We won every one of them." |
Dr. L. Haid, CAO |
"This is a great tool to help administrators to understand the process and make consistent and sound decisions about disciplining employees." |
D.R. Shumway, Esq., Board Attorney |
"We believe these materials are consistent with, and complimentary to, our own efforts to help school districts and education professionals prevent losses and manage risk." |
M. Tiffany, Risk Retention Trust |
"UpSlope Solutions is an excellent collaborative partner that has done more than just provide training materials in the area of risk management for our district. The company's education consultants have trained education administrators and classified employee managers in research-supported techniques that have made a distinct difference." |
G. Zamar, Superintendent |
"I gained a greater understanding of the process and practice of employee discipline. Generated lots of ideas!" |
T. Colvin, Director of Human Resources |
"A training MUST for new HR Directors!" |
J. Carter, Director of Human Resources |
"Upslope helped us develop an Employee Code of Conduct that promotes to the staff and the community our ethical commitment to maintain a safe and supportive work environment throughout our district. Their model brought a district team together to collaboratively develop our Employee Code of Conduct to ensure that all behavior modification is fairly, reasonably, thoughtfully, and consistently applied. This has provided our staff with a feeling of confidence in how they will be treated." |
K. Fields, Superintendent |
The program was clear, well paced and, most of all, worth the investment. It was timely for me and has helped to fill a serious gap in my district. I also recommend it heartily to any and all school districts." |
Dr. J. McEwan, Superintendent |
"One of the most engaging and informative sessions I have ever attended. The content was definitely needed and our district will benefit from implementing these practices!" |
L. Newton, CAO |
"One of the most beneficial and professionally useful professional staff development programs I have attended as an administrator." |
S. Emerson, Principal |
"I hold three levels of educational degrees, and this has been the most applicable learning experience I have had regarding personnel." |
J. Hardin, Principal |
These workshops transformed the way my administrators and supervisors viewed and handled employee misconduct. The program provided our district with an effective and defensible framework for ensuring that problems are addressed fairly, reasonably, and consistently." |
B. Womble, Superintendent |
"I truly believe this program will allow us to become even better which truly excites me as a Board member-and more importantly, as a parent in the district!" |
J. Beidelschies, Board member |
"The Employee Code of Conduct we developed as a result of our work with Upslope was instrumental in providing our employees with job performance expectations. Documentation of incidences of employee misconduct in official personnel files have decreased significantly because supervisors have a formalized process for correcting staff misbehavior at the informal level before behaviors escalate to something more serious requiring official discipline." |
G. Cox, Director of Human Resources |
"I had such a positive experience with UpSlope in my former district that one of my very first decisions as a superintendent was to bring this training to my new district. I can truly say that as a district, we are in a better place today by adding this program for our leadership team." |
J. Holbrook, Superintendent |
"This workshop put employee discipline into the perspective of improving staff behaviors to benefit student achievement. A much more collaborative approach to why and how to assist, share, and support staff with attention to consistent, fair, and reasonable criteria." |
J. Riedel, Director of Human Resources |
"The Employee Code and training has been very helpful. It has given our administrators an objective and consistent manner for managing our employees and determining appropriate consequences when the code has been violated." |
M. Taggart, Superintendent |
"As a newly appointed administrator, I feel so much more confident in my skills of being able to identify and handle employee discipline after taking these workshops. I have learned that most behavior can be altered through self remediation simply by giving notice to the behavior in question. I believe I will be a much better leader from what I have learned." |
S.A. Thorpe, Principal |
"Navigating the waters of employee discipline requires a reliable compass-this workshop provides that. Great blend of theory and practice. I can use these ideas immediately." |
Dr R. Wagner, Superintendent |
"Having completed the workshop, I now feel better prepared to carry out my duties and responsibilities as a school administrator in a more effective manner." |
Dr. M. Zalar, Principal |
"UpSlope helped us develop employee discipline guidelines and regulations tailor-made for our district after having trained all of our administrators and supervisors in employee management techniques. I watched as their approach to the management of conduct issues changed from punitive to more consistent and fair. Our documentation is now aligned with district policies, state and federal law, and we know where our focus will be for future policy development." |
R. Harris, Assistant Superintendent |
