Event Details

Maximize your NACSACon experience from day one.

Whether you're just stepping into the world of authorizing, work in a related field, or serve on a school board and want to deepen your understanding—NACSA’s Authorizing 101 workshop is made for you.

***

Authorizing 101 is a half-day workshop for those new to the work of authorizing. Participants will build a foundational understanding of authorizing responsibilities, how those responsibilities are interconnected, and how authorizers use evidence and professional judgment to make decisions. The workshop includes scenario-based discussions connected to a single, simulated charter school case study.

Come ready to learn, connect with peers, and build the context you need to engage more deeply with conference sessions and conversations.
