May 1, 2025 - Dec 31, 2025
2 CEUs
Full course description
Early Childhood Education leaders in Head Start Programs help teachers and staff lay the foundation of development for a child’s lifetime. For as much as management staff and site leaders pour out at the organizational level for the lives of the staff and children in their care, they deserve to receive a lion’s share of support and resources that promote lasting change and wellness for all.
Over the course of this specialized, two day workshop, we will explore strategies that align the newly revised Head Start Program Performance Standards (HSPPS) with Conscious Discipline practices to build effective communication, improve teacher retention, and create cohesive Family and Community Engagement, Education and Mental Health teams. Develop strategic implementation plans to use immediately upon return that lead to a healthy agency culture and climate long-term.
This education workshop is designed for all leaders in Head Start Program settings. Unlock your power of commitment! Move forward equipped and confident to become the kind of effective and connected leader that builds transformative agencies for years to come at Head Start with Heart: Becoming a More Conscious Leader in Head Start.
