Early childhood education leaders in Head Start Programs help teachers and staff lay the foundation of development for a student’s lifetime. For as much as they pour out at the organizational level for the lives of the staff and children in their care, they deserve to receive a lion’s share of support and resources that promote lasting change and wellness for all.
Over the course of this specialized, two day workshop, explore strategies that promote emotional intelligence and effective communication, improve teacher retention, and create a cohesive early childhood education team. Through the life-changing knowledge of the Brain States you will have the opportunity to practice direct applications for MTSS strategies, how to take the School Family to the next level and develop implementation plans to use immediately upon return. Leave with the tools to foster an environment built on trust that leads to a healthy school culture and climate long-term.
This education workshop is designed for education leaders in Head Start Program settings. Unlock your power of commitment! Move forward equipped and confident to become the kind of effective and connected leader that builds transformative schools for years to come at Head Start with Heart: Becoming a More Conscious Leader in Head Start.
