About this webinar

Finding and keeping the best, most motivated teachers is a constant challenge for most early childhood program Directors. Once you find them, it's critical to do everything you can to keep them engaged and motivated. The presenter for this session, Julie Barkus, has made it her life's work to help program administrators learn techniques to maintain a high level of staff engagement and motivation. Year after year, Directors who work with Julie and employ the techniques found on MotivateTeachers.com report  that their teachers are happier, more productive, and loyal and that the increased levels of satisfaction  have lead to better experiences for the children and families in their programs. Now you can ask Julie questions about your most vexing challenges in this unique webinar. (Or you can attend to hear questions from others.) If you have a question, you will need to provide it to us in advance of the session so Julie can answer it during the webinar.  In order to participate, you will need to click the Register button below, which will take you to a form where you can enter your question.

Please note that he group size is likely to be quite large, so we may group questions in more general terms and we might not have time to get to all of the questions, However, this should be a very informative and exciting session.

All sessions are 1.5 hours long, and include a brief announcement from our sponsor. 2:00 PM – 3:30 PM Eastern Time.
