WSTC Parent Leadership Conference 2017 

It’s time again for the Parent Leadership Conference—this time focused more on developing key leadership (and life!) skills for parents. This training will be very interactive, so parents will get a lot of practice with their developing skills! This will be our seventh annual Parent Leadership Conference, and the first six were a great success.

Agenda:

April 17, 9:00 am – 5:00 pm

April 18, 9:00 am – 3:00 pm

Curriculum includes:

• Communications and Collaboration Training – What is your communications style?  How can you most effectively work in a group?  How do you work with others to develop goals and plans that are clear, achievable, and will be completed successfully?
• Negotiation and Conflict – Being able to master the skills of negotiation and conflict resolution is one key to success in all areas of human interaction – work, school, and home.  Parents will get some hands-on practice with these skills, based on common scenarios.
• Advocacy – Effective advocacy, whether it is with an elected official, with your child’s teacher or with your boss, is about building relationships and understanding how to clearly convey your message in a way that is also clear to the listener.  Parents will hone their communication skills, learning how to craft messages that resonate with their listeners.
• Leadership Training – Parents will learn skills that will help them become a leader not only in their Head Start and ECEAP communities but also at home. The skills they learn will be transferable to work and school.
