Leading with Empathy Deb Norris

Special Topics: Advanced Specialized Care ,
Sponsor: Bennington Early Childhood Center
Instructor: April Zajko

Growing into effective early childhood educators requires us to go outside of our comfort zones, and to examine both our strengths and our weaknesses. Learn how to use active listening, observation, and empathetic response as a way to understand and build trusting relationships with children, families, and coworkers. Leading with empathy helps us to explore the concepts of courage, compassion, and connection as we explore how to create the most supportive learning environment for all children. Participants will look at specific ways to create an environment that is built on trust, inclusion, and conveys a sense of belonging to all. Participants will explore ways to share resources with their teams on how to teach emotional vocabulary, self-regulation, and techniques to model social and emotional skills for their staff and families.
