EDUCATIONAL LEADERS -Struggling to find the time and will to meet formally with all team members? Feel like the ‘bad guy’ all the time?
Want to foster a more collaborative and inspired approach?
Need the tools and templates to guide you step by step through the process though?
Connect & Grow Sessions are the answer! This guide gives Educational Leaders the prompts, templates and reflection questions to help them organise and conduct productive yet informal reflection and mentoring sessions with other team members.
Educational leaders, Coordinators and Directors will be able to use the ‘Connect & Grow’ tips, tools and templates to:
✅ Reflect on current practice in a supportive and friendly 1:1 space.
✅ Foster a sense of connection and provide opportunities for growth, mentorship, motivation and ongoing
learning.
✅ Mentor and inspire educators rather than just directing or monitoring.
✅ Ensure team members are recognised for their achievements and hard work building a sense of capacity, empowerment and wellbeing (essential for a cohesive, happy team!)
✅ Record progress on individual action plans and collaborate to assign new tasks and goals.
✅ Present a balance of problem-solving issues and opportunities for learning and creative discussion.
✅ Provide opportunities for active learning and sharing.
✅ Simplify frameworks, outcomes and principles and identify the areas that need some extra support.
✅ Share and inspire with programming ideas and inspiration.
✅ Identify any areas of concern or work performance issues for further investigation and problem-solving.
✅ Record evidence of ongoing support and commitment to team wellbeing and professional development.
