What You'll Learn
The Skills Framework is a critical and central resource for such purposes, containing valuable job & skills information to better help educators excel in their roles and plan for their professional development.
This workshop aims at orientating the educators to the Skills Framework documents and how to use relevant job and skills information for managing performance and professional development. In addition, the workshop will equip educators on essential skill-sets, such as setting clear work goals, facilitating constructive dialogue with their Centre Leaders for reviewing work progress or seeking guidance on work issues, as well as engaging their Centre Leaders constructively for appraisal and career development conversations.
As a result, the educators will become more confident, resilient and empowered to thrive in their centres. At the same time, the educators will also acquire a growth mindset and expectations, which enables the Centre Leaders to easier lead, coach, appraise and develop their staff as a people manager-coach.
