Pre-Conference with Jennifer Abrams:

There Is An “I” in Team: Bottom Line Skills For Creating a Healthy, Professional School Culture

It is critically important for a healthy, professional school culture, and for student growth that we strive to develop ourselves, not just as educators, but also as emotionally intelligent, psychologically mature systemically aware human beings. What can we do to be bigger and better versions of ourselves? This workshop, based on Jennifer’s new book, Stretching Your Learning Edges: Growing (Up) at Work, will introduce us to adult developmental theory and to five focused ways we can develop ourselves at work.

We will build our skills to:

• know ourselves and our identities
• better suspend our certainty and think with greater complexity and openness
• take increased responsibility for our language and communications
• engage with reciprocity and live ‘out loud’ our belief of mutual respect for all
• build our resiliency and work on our emotional hygiene
