Insights into ASCA 2012: Do What Matters
 
In the true spirit of doing what matters most to our members, we are adjusting the conference schedule and offerings to reflect the feedback received from prior years’ evaluations. The usual popular sessions and activities will still occur:

-case law review
-legislative updates
-opening keynote & reception
-closing banquet & social
-volleyball
-circuit meetings
 
In addition, we are making some changes and additions. The first most notable change is the addition of a 4th featured speaker session. In addition to case law review and legislative updates, we will also offer featured sessions on threat assessment and Title IX/DCL. The second change relates to the schedule  - case law review has been moved to Saturday afternoon, and volleyball will begin on Thursday night. These changes promote relationships and conversations among our membership, which has been noted as one of the most important values of the conference experience.

Other changes include:
-changing the schedule to include roundtables on Friday evening
-moving the MIC meetings to breakfast
-adding onsite social activities
-being intentional about the programs offered for community colleges, mid-level professionals, and other audiences
-providing social opportunities, including a sandcastle building contest for those who may prefer an alternative to volleyball
 
We look forward to seeing you at Conference!

This pre-conference workshop is designed for participants who already apply Restorative Justice principles in their work and/or implement Restorative Justice programs on their campus. In true Restorative Justice fashion, this will not be a lecture but a facilitated discussion that will enable each participant to learn from each other. Collectively, we will review how well our programs are meeting Restorative Justice goals, such as including harmed parties, repairing harm, and rebuilding relationships; explore challenges and obstacles that limit Restorative Justice success; and Finally, we will ponder the small questions that impact our work on a regular basis: which cases are most suitable for RJ? How do we train and evaluate staff and volunteer facilitator performance? How do we best include harmed parties?

Start: 1-Feb-12 1:00 PM End: 1-Feb-12 5:00 PM

This session will focus on how to structure and integrate an appropriate civil rights investigation function into the student conduct model from a process perspective. The Civil Rights Investigation Model already exists on most campuses, finding its application in HR/Personnel, EEO and affirmative action departments.  Yet, that model won’t achieve the same education aims as the conduct model?  So, what is a developmentally-inclined conduct officer to do?  Blend them.  Attend this workshop, and we’ll show you how to blend a superb civil rights investigation model into your existing student conduct model.
