You’ll also learn about state-requirements and guidelines, keeping your SIC on track throughout the year, and understand what is expected of you and your SIC. Whether you’re brand new or looking to sharpen your leadership skills, this session has what you need to succeed.
SICs Basics
Whether you are brand new to your School Improvement Council or just need a quick refresher, this one-hour session is a great place to start. We’ll review the key features of the SIC Handbook and go over the essentials of being an SIC member: how SICs got started, how members are chosen, what’s required, and what support is available from SC-SIC. We’ll also walk through the key responsibilities of SICs and their members, so you can feel confident and ready to contribute.
