What are teachers hungry for? Are they excited to work on compliance and standardized quality measures? Veteran teacher Olga Lacayo was hungry for much more than that, and when her coach, Eliana Elias, laid her eyes on Olga, she recognized that hunger. Olga wanted to seek authentic ways to involve other professionals in discussing the impact of racism on children, their families, and teachers. Through a poignant moment with a child in her classroom, Olga started her journey and invited Eliana to come along. Theirs is a story of reciprocity, deep listening, risk-taking, pain and joy.
Join Olga and Eliana for a free upcoming webinar, hosted by Early Learning Investigations, to explore how coaches and teachers can design professional development experiences that enrich their lives and bring about deep transformation in Early Childhood Settings.
In this webinar participants will:
- Find examples showing how adults might respond to conversations about race in the classroom.
- Learn more about the way teacher identity impacts the quality of interactions in the classroom.
- Explore a coaching stance that respects teachers as capable and curious learners.
