Calling all Centre Managers, Governance Personnel, Team Leaders and Kaiako!

Join Liz and Tahu for this unique opportunity to engage in rich professional dialogue and build a strong foundation for opening up conversations that build collegiality. 

How HONEST are the conversations in your centre that lead to improvements of teaching and learning?
Do team discussions sometimes become a tangle of tales rather than purposeful professional dialogue?

Are you interested in:

• Building knowledge on changes to the Standards for the Teaching Profession to deepen collegial conversations.
• Developing the skills to hold authentic, respectful professional conversations about teaching and learning.
• Building conversational capability across your team to drive meaningful and sustainable change.

During this programme we will explore:

• The foundations of creating an inclusive, courageous and trusting team culture.
• Identifying the challenges of engaging in HONEST conversations

         H Honest
         E Explicit
         A Appropriate
         R Respectful
         D Direct

• Practical skills for engaging in difficult conversations using a supportive framework.

If you are ready to step up and take responsibility for the health and wellbeing of your team – take an open look at daily challenges, whether big or small — we warmly welcome you to this opportunity of truly “making it work at work.”
