Course Description
- This is the first 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.
- School leaders maintain a key role in education settings but are faced with a unique set of heightened stressors. When the feelings that come from stress are left unmanaged, they are felt throughout the entire school community. In order to support others and succeed in your critical role, you need to help yourself first by managing your own emotionality.
Learning Outcomes
- Identify self-awareness and self-reflection as part of the Reflective Practice techniques to support one’s own leadership approach.
- Recognize how understanding one’s own emotionality can be beneficial for leaders.
- Acquire stress-management techniques to apply to one’s leadership structure and school community.
