Why the need to 'stretch our learning edges'?
"At this moment in time when things are ever shifting, it is critically important that we strive to develop ourselves, not just as educators, but as human beings. What can we do to be bigger and better versions of ourselves as collaborative team members and as leaders? This workshop addresses this question."
What will be covered in Communication Basics?
"The workshop will provide reminders of those skills within one’s sphere of control that can increase trust in everyday interpersonal and group interactions."
Formerly a high school English teacher and a new teacher coach in Palo Alto Unified School District (Palo Alto, CA, USA), Jennifer Abrams is currently a communications consultant who works with educators and others on new teacher and employee support, being generationally savvy, effective collaboration skills, having hard conversations and creating identity safe workplaces.
