| Oct 21 Driver Education in Olathe |
| This course is designed to give students the fundamentals for driving responsibly, safely and defensively. In addition to the 8 hour classroom portion, each student will receive four to six lessons of behind-the-wheel training that will be scheduled during the classroom portion but will begin the week following the class. Amount of drive time is determined by the instructor as the student achieves the driving competencies (see Driver Education Webpage for listing). Students must be at least 14 years old. It is recommended but not necessary for students to have a current learner's permit prior to the class. All course materials are included in the course fee. A welcome letter from the instructor and the Transportation division will be sent to enrolled participants approximately one-week prior to the first class. For students under 18: We strongly recommend that a parent/guardian attend the first class to meet the instructor and complete forms. Driving lessons will be scheduled during the first class session. Driving will take place over the next 4-5 weeks. Expectations are that all students should complete the program during that 4-5 week time frame. |

| Oct 24 Resolving Workplace Conflict |
| Today's business environment presents new and growing challenges forcing organizations to continually increase productivity, improve quality, shorten cycle time, and reduce costs. Survey after survey confirms that people are working longer and harder at jobs that are more complex and have a wider range of responsibilities. At the same time, the way people work and communicate with one another is changing, creating added stress and complexity. The homogenous, single-function, co-located group is being replaced by dispersed, cross-functional teams with diverse areas of expertise. An unfortunate but natural by-product of these challenges is conflict. This course teaches leaders how to recognize the signs of escalating conflict and take appropriate action to minimize damage. This class is part of the Business Leadership Certificate. The DDI course is approved by HRCI and SHRM for 3.5 hours. |
