Tamara loves teaching, but the holidays have drained her. She feels emotionally, physically and spiritually depleted. Recently, she has been letting her class discuss whatever they want. Tamara, Rick and Marina are good examples of why training during the winter months can be helpful. New teachers have taught long enough to realize they need some help.
Experienced teachers fall into ruts unless they receive frequent doses of inspiration and challenge.
And many teachers like Tamara need rejuvenation. And, for most families, winter's slower pace allows time for training. Look at other ways to update your workers. The best way to find out what leaders need is to ask, but to ask with focus. Hand each worker the checklist on a Sunday morning, let them check their needs and return the list to you that morning.
