Managing Coaching When Work Feels Unmanageable 

Description

The pandemic magnified weaknesses in early childhood settings that we are still trying to figure out. Programs report feeling overwhelmed with staff turnover, an uptick in reported challenging behavior, and an increase in the need to support staff wellness. With all of this going on, coaching sometimes gets put on the backburner. But what if there was a way to reimagine how we can keep coaching to build staff capacity despite these challenges? Join our webinar to hear reflections and solutions from coaches who have coached staff in kindergarten, childcare, and early intervention settings as they share their experiences navigating coaching when everything else feels unpredictable.
