The Director’s Role in Supporting Healthy Teaching Teams

This workshop provides insight into the complex dynamics of team work and will provide program directors with tools and strategies to support the growth of individual teachers and teaching teams. Teams tend to focus their work on curriculum development and the needs of the children; however, focusing on the needs of the team is vital to the health of the team and school community. You will leave this workshop with practical strategies to support teachers at all levels of their career, in: • Developing mentoring skills • Giving and receiving constructive feedback • Dealing with the inevitable conflicts that arise • Developing trusting relationships with their team members Instructor: Jean Schreiber
