How Leaders’ Emotionality Impacts the Community

Course Description

• This is the second module of the “Reflective Practice: Self-Awareness, Communication & Problem Solving” course for school leaders and we recommend that you take the modules in order to get the best learning experience.
• Leaders are met with countless responsibilities, obstacles, and stressors on a daily basis, making it all the more important that leaders understand and manage their emotionality to prevent it from negatively impacting the community…leaders’ ability to manage and enhance their emotionality can, in fact, positively impact the community.

Learning Outcomes

• Acquire stress-management techniques to apply to one’s leadership structure and school community.
• Apply the steps of a Reflective Practice session to school-wide practices (e.g., between leaders, leaders and teachers, teachers and peer mentors, teachers, and children, teachers and families).
• Demonstrate how to use Reflective Practice techniques to improve communication, problem-solving, stress-management, relationships, and support systems.
