Alliant International University’s Graduate School of Education (GSOE) is committed to educational leadership development for college and university managers, faculty, and staff. In response to issues and concerns raised about student discipline, classroom management and new challenges arising on campus around student behavior, GSOE is sponsoring a two-day professional leadership seminar to address current trends and develop perspectives on best practices, which would be of use to college leadership for strengthening effective classroom and campus management.

The Institute will address four critical areas:

1. Student Mental Health Issues
2. Disruptive Student Behavior
3. Internet Use and Abuse
4. New Faculty, Manager and Staff Orientation around Student Discipline and Classroom Management

We invite you to join your colleagues to participate in identifying and discussing these challenges and emerging trends, and contribute to an Institute Outcomes Report outlining issue resolution and best practices in the field of student discipline based on information garnered from these workshops.

The Institute begins at 11:00am on Thursday, April 12th and workshops end by 5:15pm. The Institute resumes Friday, April 13th, at 8:30am and will adjourn at 1:00pm.

Public Transportation

We encourage public transportation.

If you must drive, use map quest to get you to One Beach Street. Parking is near by in lots at Bay and Embarcadero, a big lot across from Pier 39 and a lot on Beach about three blocks up. We encourage those who drive not to leave any valuables in the car or visible.
