OKLAHOMA CITY – Rep. Michelle McCane, D-Tulsa, and Rep. Jacob Rosecrants, D-Norman, are leading a series of virtual listening sessions for any and all public school employees. The purpose of these sessions is to give public school employees the opportunity to share individual experiences and perspectives that help inform education-related policy discussions.
There are nine sessions left taking place twice a month through November. Each session will cover a different topic to encourage focused discussions that can inform future education policy in Oklahoma:
- July 28: Student Behavior, Discipline, and Violence
- August 11: Tech & AI
- August 25: School Scheduling
- September 8: Support Employees
- September 22: Testing
- October 6: Administration
- October 20: Academic Counseling & Graduation
- November 3: Alternative Education & Alternative Placements
- November 17: Accreditation & Standards
Public school employees can register for these sessions through this link: Those who register will be notified via email if they are selected to participate. Those selected will receive a link to a Microsoft Teams Meeting where the session is held.
Participants will also receive a list of optional questions related to the listening session to help guide them as they share their insight and perspectives.
The listening session will be divided into two parts. The first half of the session will go over any included questions and allow participants the opportunity to respond to as few or as many as they choose.
The second half of the session will be more conversational, allowing legislators to ask any remaining questions and giving participants an opportunity to share insight not already covered.
