2012 Gehring Interview & Investigation Training

Mon, 30 Jan 2012 01:18:30 GMT

The nuances of interviewing students and investigating behavioral misconduct at the post-secondary level can be challenging. Understanding the foundations critical to student development through a sound student conduct process is the basis of our work. Likewise, in order to provide the best outcome for the education of the student and preserve due process, one must fully comprehend the elements of the student, the incident, and the educational outcomes needed to modify student behavior.

This 1-day training is focused for new to mid-level professionals who want to be able to hone their skills in the investigation of conduct cases. If information is gathered accurately, even the simplest case with a minor infraction can offer the investigating officer the opportunity to deliver the best developmental and educational sanctions to the student and be able to articulate the reasons why.

Participants will be shown techniques for investigating to include interviewing, statement analysis, note taking and case presentation. Time permitting; participants will be given the opportunity to practice these skills.
