A group of teachers, many with some much-needed coffee in hand, settle into their chairs as they prepare to begin one of their program’s lead teacher “drop-ins.” These monthly groups carve out time for the head teachers of a large preschool program to seek advice from each other, get support, and think about new ways of approaching their work when things in their classrooms aren’t going as well as they’d like. Often, they end up seeking help in regard to children they’re finding particularly challenging. As the program’s early childhood consultant, I’m in the room too, sipping my own cup of coffee. We all exchange greetings, grumbling good-naturedly about the fact that the season’s first snow is forecast for later in the week. en Julia, the lead teacher of a prekindergarten classroom, asks whether she can start us off. e group willingly agrees: she’s one of the program’s most admired teachers and is more likely to offer help than request it. Her colleagues know she must be feeling on shaky ground if she’s asking to take the floor. With a nod of thanks, Julia begins to speak. Sharing Widget |
