Disagreement Communication
Being a childcare director there are a lot of responsibilities that come with it. I am in charge of 26 staff members and 102 children and their families. After doing this weeks assignments I knew I had something to blog about. Before I got my current position I was a teacher in the classroom. The director I had at the time was very negative towards us and never had anything positive to say. This really hindered our performance as teachers because we felt there was nothing that we could do to satisfy her. When I became the director I knew I always wanted to communicate with my staff in a way that will be positive and stern. I always let them know when they are not doing things the right way, but I always follow up with something positive. This gives them the courage to continue to do better, but work on whatever needs adjustments.
I have always found that having great communication is the key. You get more respect and your product that is given to the parents and the child works. My staff will always tell me they enjoy my thoughts, ideas, and concerns because it helps them mature and grow as teachers.

Hi Stacey,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your post! I liked the way you turned around a negative situation into a positive atmosphere. I could concur with you regarding an unsatisfied supervisor; which we could never please us. I always remember her communication telling us how we do a terrible job and could do better but we don't. I am grateful for you and your staff evens the children and families that an uplifting and positive person became the center director.
