Workshops

Workshops are an opportunity to deep dive into a specific issue area and will often center around building a tool for your school in a hands-on immersive approach. This 3–4 hour online format will include instruction on and discussion of the topic and then time for the participant to build or create their own version and plan for implementation, while being able to query instructors and peers.

While we encourage participants to attend as a team, each person must register separately.
Workshops are not recorded because live participation is critical to the experience
and the policy allows participants to share freely. 

Group Discounts

NBOA offers a discount of $100 per person for multiple participants from the same school or organization registering for the same workshop. Please reach out to the member services team at programs@nboa.org to facilitate a group workshop registration.

The Employee Supervision and Management workshop is also available for Individual Schools as a private, virtual workshop designed to deepen supervisors’ understanding of workforce management best practices and to align supervisor training with the school’s mission and goals.
