Opening a new school is scary, exciting and has many variables out of the control of the professionals who will be working there.
What if a personalized, tailored workshop could help bond your new staff and broader school community? what if, by the end of the workshop, your new staff and community had developed a vision and mission statement, created school-wide policies and procedures, and worked in grade-level teams to establish grade-level procedures that aligned to newly-developed school culture and community norms? For over a decade, I have worked with elementary schools in Maryland, and other schools and universities in creating a culture of ownership of school values and state standards?
Here is an example of a recent 3-day school opening workshop developed for an elementary school in Maryland.
