More than likely, your teachers need this - and you might too. As leaders, many of us are in the midst of supporting others during this challenging time. And if we are really good leaders, then we are reflecting and noticing where our own learning-edge is, where we could probably grow ourselves to be better and to lead better. We are noticing this in ourselves and in the leaders on our teams. What we are going through now is also an opportunity to be growing through now. I CAN HELP YOU. I CAN HELP YOUR TEACHERS. I CAN HELP YOUR PARENTS. As I’ve been offering support, what need continues to “rise to the top” is supporting teachers and parents in the balance in two key areas:
Their own wellness during this time
Being able to really teach with integrity in completely new formats and structures, mainly technology and distance-learning (for parents, this looks like support and implementation as well - it’s simply a different framing and tasks)
While technology is not my specialty, creating connections and quality experiences ON TECHNOLOGY is something I’ve been doing for the last 5 years. Plus, I bring an equity, SEL, trauma-responsive, and emotional intelligence lens to the experience. This lens matters more than ever right now. And for those of you that are familiar with my work - you know I think out of the box in ways that make sense and resonate with humanity and love of our children. I have put together a strong 90-minute professional learning LIVE webinar that can be hosted by your district. Parents will also feel very valued and cared for by seeing this being offered as a means of “just in time” support. Being succinct and targeted, it supports the two key areas listed above. In this service, it is offered twice to support varied schedules and increase participation for those who want it. Further, there is follow-up coaching access to me from any of the participants during the duration of this school year while teachers need continued support. This means they can get 1:1 support if they simply reach out. If you are interested in this for your district or staff - and families - please do not hesitate to reach out to me.
