Family-Teacher Relationships (CDA 4) |
2.00 |
How do you view the families of the children in your classroom? If you were to generate a list of words to describe families, what kinds of positive and negative feelings would they convey?
When we see ourselves as partners with the families we serve, the quality of care and nurturing children receive is greatly enhanced. Establishing such partnerships and building relationships is our responsibility. Communication strategies, such as practicing active listening, are key to this process. In this course, participants will describe the importance and benefits of establishing meaningful relationships with families and identify strategies for establishing meaningful relationships.
This course is designed to be part of a Child Development Associate (CDA) Credential™ curriculum. It covers CDA Subject Area 4: Strategies to Establish Productive Relationships with Families. This course can also be taken as a stand-alone learning event, or as part of a broader early childhood education curriculum. |

Employee Performance: Managing Difficult Employees (Instructor Guide) |
1.00 |
A difficult employee is one whose attitude or behavior is detrimental to an organization. Typically, difficult people are aware of their behavior, but rarely care that their attitude hampers their productivity, or affects the success of their organization.
However, it’s important to remember that a difficult person is not necessarily an individual whom you dislike. Occasionally, the difficulty might not be the individual’s behavior but might instead be your perception of their behavior.
In this course you will learn to: recognize the impact that difficult people can have on an organization, manage a difficult person, and identify difficult personality types, address difficult employees, and mitigate their behavior, and monitor the behavior of a difficult employee, and document ongoing changes in behavior and performance.
This Instructor's Edition of this course includes notes and suggestions to assist you in presenting the material, whether in an in-person classroom setting, or as an instructor-led online or distance-learning course. It also provides you with the answers to questions found in mid-lesson activities, as well as in the quiz that concludes the course. |
