About this webinar

Sponsored by Inspiring New Perspectives


A child's learning and development are best supported when teachers and parents (or other caretakers) have strong, trusting relationships. Establishing effective and collaborative relationships can be challenging. This webinar will guide you in utilizing impactful strategies to enhance your connection with parents. You will be inspired to find new ways to illuminate and share daily moments to reduce negativity and judgment that can cause stress and fuel misunderstandings.

This webinar will empower you to:

• Incorporate easy-to-implement strategies for building positive relationships

• Move past the often limiting TTWWADI (That's The Way We've Always Done it) habits and practices and embrace new ideas and techniques

• Broaden your understanding of the current research on how strength-based connections with parents affect children's early learning experiences.

Susan will provide participants with a comprehensive reflection guide containing valuable resources, including information from her new book – 101 Ways to Supercharge Professional Development Experiences!
