Is there a leader in you? – Bita Rezaei
Stepping into the arena and leading a team to achieve success calls for a certain set of attitudes and attributes. What we need on our way to a great business and a happy team is a competent leader. This talk will lead participants (experienced teachers and managers) on a journey of self-discovery of their leadership qualities.
Our most recent webinar:
The Elusive Art of Giving Feedback – Ania Kolbuszewska
This webinar has now taken place. The recording can be viewed from this link.
Before you started carrying out classroom observations, chances are you were told to stick to the “sandwich” approach to giving post-observation feedback and you’ll be fine. Chances are also that this didn’t really help.
As a form of communication, feedback is governed by rules which apply to contexts far wider than post-observation alone.
In this webinar we will examine features of successful feedback as well as some of the less obvious, yet essential do’s and don’t’s of feedback giving. We will also explore how varying attitudes towards conflict may affect the feedback process and outcome. Finally, we will look at a possible way of gathering information on how successful we are in giving feedback to our staff.
