PROGRESSIVE QUESTIONS/ANSWERS ON SCHOOL LAW & HUMAN RESOURCES

The readings for the classes are an important foundation of knowledge in the areas of School Law and Human Resources. This blog will provide for a social sharing of possible quiz questions related to the remaining book chapters of the classes, and require candidates to coordinate their submissions with others that have posted earlier. NO QUIZ QUESTIONS MAY BE THE SAME, SO YOU WILL NEED TO REVIEW ALREADY POSTED QUESTIONS CAREFULLY AND FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS.

1. Read School Law Text Chapters 10, 8 & 4. Read Human Resources Text chapters 4, 8, 11, 13.
2. GO to the blog and review carefully all questions already posted there- as you may not post a quiz question that is similar or duplicates one already posted.
3. Develop only ONE quiz question with answer PER Chapter. AGAIN, YOUR QUIZ QUESTIONS MAY NOT DUPLICATE ANY QUESTIONS ALREADY POSTED.
