New EMIS Coordinator Training
This April we are once again offering New EMIS Coordinator training. This training builds on that provided in August and is geared towards end of year EMIS reporting. Note that the August training is not a requirement to participate in these sessions. We strongly recommend that all EMIS coordinators with 3 or fewer years of experience with EMIS reporting attend. Though we have designed the April training with new EMIS coordinators in mind, these trainings are open to EMIS coordinators at all levels as well as other district staff and administrators who may be interested.
These sessions will be provided via Microsoft Teams. Each topic will be offered once with a recording to be posted after all sessions have concluded. We encourage you to invite other district staff with whom you work and who are involved with EMIS data or reporting to join you in watching these trainings.
Prior registration will not be required. A link to join the training and other pertinent information will be provided on the New EMIS Coordinator Training webpage.
