Generally, educators have positive relationships with families and other professionals supporting a child’s learning. However, sometimes there can be underlying frustrations that disrupt the process and reduce the effectiveness of the partnership.
This webinar will explore how you might enhance collaboration by:
- Fostering mutual relationships with families and other professionals;
- Identifying “what matters”;
- Using a common language and visible documentation;
- Developing your relational expertise; and
- Using 'Working Together' resources.
