Planing, organizing and orchestrating school-wide professional development is no small task...
Maybe right now...
You are too busy managing the intricacies of your school community to create and implement your own programming
The courses and workshops you find are limited in scope and don't meet the needs of your entire team

Day one
Infant Toddler
Is there a difference between guidance and teaching, and how might you know?
Presented by Pamela Green
We will enter an exploration of this question by looking at the origins of what may be held within each quality of the ways we are with children. By considering our intentions, motivations, and where our focus resides. Is it more externally focused or moving from within? And what impact can this have on the experience of who we are with?
We will move through a process of discernment, which is unique to each one of us, offering clues to where guidance and teaching. As a map or pathway towards collaboration and learning in new ways.
How might this matter in the classroom?
