Description: We’ve received a lot of interest from directors and staff who are looking for a concentrated management/leadership opportunity for managers and supervisors, which will include practical supervisory and leadership skill-building, geared directly toward HS/ECEAP. A large percentage of our staff are promoted from within, and get their training on the job or piecemeal.
Supervising isn't always easy, and having the opportunity to build the necessary skills will enable participants to set ambitious goals and improve outcomes for staff, families and children in their program. These skills don't always come naturally - our highly recommended trainers will help bring things together for participants, and make them more effective manager/leaders.
Curriculum:
Everyone will pursue the same curriculum, which will include:
• Communication Styles
• Conflict Styles
• Difficult conversations – How to give and receive feedback
• Effective Coaching
• Working and supervising within a diverse workforce & clientele
• Goal Setting and Accountability
• Legal/Personnel training
