Investigation Foundations Level One: Policy, Procedures, and the Resolution Process for Higher Education

10:00am-5:00pm ET (Both Days)

Investigation Foundations Level One: Policy, Procedures, and the Resolution Process for Higher Education is the initial course in ATIXA’s investigator curriculum for investigators, deputies, and Title IX Coordinators looking to acquire the fundamental skills necessary to conduct sexual harassment, violence, and sex discrimination investigations. Expert faculty members will guide participants through an in-depth exploration of each phase of an investigation as prescribed by the Title IX Formal Grievance Process, including additional relevant topics for each phase.

The concepts and investigation structure taught in this course are consistent with the 2020 Title IX Regulations and can be applied to the full range of Title IX-based allegations. Participants will examine the key components of the investigation process and the investigator’s role at each stage.

In combination with the included Title IX Fundamentals online learning experience, Investigation Foundations meets both the Title IX and VAWA Section 304 training requirements for participants and details best practices for success as a full-time or part-time investigator.

Applying Policy in Investigations & Determinations Workshop

10:00am-2:00pm ET

Title IX team members must deeply understand the Title IX policy-based offense definitions of their district, school, or institution. This includes complex legal constructs and terms of art. Deconstructing an offense definition into its component elements (parsing) is critical to effectively serving as an investigator or decision-maker, roles that must understand the process of converting policies into models of proof.

Participants will practice breaking down policy language into critical elements and using those elements to guide their analysis. ATIXA’s expert faculty members will demonstrate how to use policy deconstruction tools to provide clear insights into the tasks required during each phase of the formal grievance process.

Interviewing Minors Seminar

3:00pm-5:00pm ET

As a Title IX professional, one of the most challenging tasks is interviewing minors involved in investigations as parties or witnesses. Communicating with children appropriately, while considering their linguistic and developmental abilities, is crucial. Additionally, minors may find it challenging to express themselves, especially to an unfamiliar adult. Parents and guardians often insist on being there, and certain states require their permission to interview a minor.

To help overcome these challenges, this seminar will provide participants with the best practices and tools to create safe and trauma-informed environments for interviewing minors. It will include techniques for discussing sensitive or graphic behaviors, selecting an appropriate setting, and the role of advisors, parents, and guardians. ATIXA faculty members will also share suggestions for interview question wording and how to give clear instructions before starting an interview. Participants will listen to and analyze recorded interviews and discuss their feedback with the group. Click here to learn more.

Investigation Foundations Level Two: Investigation Skills & Report Writing for Higher Education

10:00am-5:00pm ET (Both Days)

Investigation Foundations Level Two: Investigation Skills & Report Writing for Higher Education focuses on improving interviewing techniques and post-interview tasks such as credibility assessment, information synthesis, and clear report writing.

Participants will review a sample investigation report to guide their understanding of report writing mechanics, format, and structure. Additionally, registrants will engage in various interactive learning activities to practice their skills and receive feedback from ATIXA’s experts.
