Why attend an MASFPS Event?
“The workshops are full of reminders, hot topics, and confirmation of what we're doing right and what we should revise as a district. Literally, it is the best on the job professional development.”
~K. LaGreca @ Advanced Technology Academy (2022)
“The 2020-2021 MASFPS Director’s Workshop is hands down the best professional learning for any new or veteran state and federal program coordinators. They cover all the need to know items including the most up to date information. The sessions are timely and broken down enough to learn and then immediately implement.”
“MASFPS Directors’ Workshop Series is a must for those managing state and federal funds. The sessions are timely, spot-on, and extremely useful. This is a very good use of my limited time, as Sara and Buzz (the leaders) have walked the walk. They are the perfect guide to help support me through the complex layers of state and federal programs. Thank you for providing this helpful series. Feel free to use. ”
“The Directors’ Series is incredibly valuable for new and returning program directors. It is a safe place to ask questions, and the sessions are aligned nicely to when certain actions should take place. I learn something new each year! ”
“I always walk away from these sessions feeling equipped to handle my daily responsibilities with competence and effectiveness. Thank you for always being a wealth of information for Federal Program Managers such as myself. ”
“I attended the MASFPS New Directors’ Workshop Series last year as a new Assistant Superintendent and found it extremely helpful. The sessions assisted me in learning the information and skills I needed to do my job. I registered again this year because there was no better way for me to get the most up-to-date information, or to network with others with the same responsibilities. I will be back every year.”
“Being new to my role of Assistant to the Director of Teaching & Learning and moving in to more work with the grants, this series has been very helpful with great resources. The presentations run smoothly and use great references.
