I attended and helped to facilitate a training on staff support. One of the interesting tidbits that stuck with me was to treat staff as I would expect them to treat the children. We talked at great length about how to make staff feel valued and I realized that it's been a while since I've truly been in the classroom. I've been in and out to deliver messages and such or make rounds in the morning for the updates, but not truly in the room to enjoy the children and share positive feedback with staff.
Today I shared how in the past I would see something great and leave a sticky note about my observation on their door and how much that meant to them that someone noticed. Parents also enjoyed reading these anecdotal records as well. For one reason or another, I have gotten away from that. I realize today, I need to get back in touch with my staff.
