INVESTING IN EDUCATORS
At the Choose Well Program we believe that investing in students begins with investing in educators.
To us, educators are not just the teachers in the classroom, but every staff member who interacts with students: coaches, aides, counselors, janitors, administrators, bus drivers, etc.
Creating a Culture & Climate That Lasts
Our Professional Development program is designed to help staff think about the culture (who/what/why) and
climate (how) of their school.
Professional Development programs often work with teachers, administrators, and staff separately. However, this creates silos of information and support networks.
We believe that developing a shared understanding of Who you are, What you do, Why you do it, and How you do it is essential to building a positive school culture that will last.
Supporting Educators as Individuals
Every year new regulations and standards put increasing pressure on schools, leading many educators to become disillusioned or burnt out.
Professional Development sessions provide schools with an opportunity to support, challenge, encourage, and care for the well-being of their staff as individuals.
After our Professional Development sessions, your staff will leave refreshed, encouraged in their roles, and unified around a shared vision.
SAMPLE SESSIONS
"YOU FIRST: LEADING FROM
THE INSIDE OUT''
This session focuses on taking care of the whole self - spiritual, physical, emotional, intellectual, and social.
"360º RELATIONSHIPS"
This session looks at how we function when professional relationships go bad. When do bridges need to be burned, repaired, and restored?
"WHAT YOU'RE A PART OF IS
GREATER THAN YOU"
It can be easy to get caught up in your own job and lose sight of the bigger picture. This session helps staff consider the culture of their school, and how each person has a part to play.
