The session is an interactive workshop, using role play, that focusses on areas for which teachers and Middle Level Leaders (MLL) usually have had no training. We will look at real-life scenarios in a humorous but solution- orientated way.
The focus of the session will be to support teachers and MLL's in dealing with the demands of communicating in difficult situations:
How to communicate effectively and professionally with demanding or difficult parents (challenging your teaching methods, reporting, grading, dealings with their student, unfair treatment etc)? How to deal with the potentially difficult parent teacher meeting? When to write and when to speak? As an Assistant Principal, who was formerly a teacher of Drama, I hope to join experiences in these roles and facilitate an enjoyable and informative workshop.
