Leading With Culture, Community Building, and Relationships | Educators Without Borders
As educators, our work is grounded in the development of the Whole Child, not simply academic learning areas. Whether a teacher or leader, we have a tremendous opportunity to positively influence the social-emotional development of the students in our care through fostering strong relationships and cultivating the development of character. What practical strategies offer opportunities for school teams – no matter your role – to lead with positive culture as a priority? How do we effectively build impactful relationships that connect our entire community around the purpose of supporting all students to reach their goals?
Educators Without Borders welcomes Krista Leh (Owner, Resonance Education Inc.), Dr. Diron Ford (High School Assistant Principal), and Mike Gilmour (Deputy Principal, Author “The Power of Rapport”). Hosted by Traci Browder (Elementary Educator, Consultant).
