Difficult Conversations Presenter: Lynn Glickman
As lead educators, we are sometimes called upon to engage in very difficult conversations with teachers, parents, students, or other members of the religious school community. Depending upon the situation, we may have time to prepare ourselves for these conversations, and we may not. We'll discuss strategies that we can use to present clear messages while still helping all parties to feel valued. This session is for Education Directors.
