CPRPS Capable, confiant & curieux- Modules 8 (offert en deux soirées)
View Details
March 8, 2021 6:30 pm - March 10, 2021 8:30 pm
Module 8: Relations avec les familles et la communauté
Les enfants nous viennent de familles et de communautés diverses et nous voulons qu'ils se sentent accueillis, à l'aise et compris. Comment accueillir toutes les familles et collaborer avec elles pour que chacun soit inclus dans nos milieux? Que signifie développer des relations authentiques? Les parents ont-ils une place dans la prise de décision au sein de nos milieux? Comment établissons-nous des relations et des collaborations avec nos villes et nos villages et comment cela nous profite-t-il tous?
Dans ce module, nous prendrons connaissance des récits d’éducateurs qui ont développé, grâce à des approches variées, des relations solides et respectueuses avec les familles et les communautés.
Les participants pourront:
-Examiner l’idée d’ « établir des relations » et à quoi cela ressemble dans la pratique • Partager « ce qui a fonctionné » en termes de collaborations authentiques
-Comprendre le cheminement relatif à l’établissement de relations au fil du temps et les avantages de prendre le temps de le faire: le développement de la confiance, la compréhension des points de vue de chacun, la collaboration en termes de développement de programme.
-Prendre en compte « l’image du parent » et ses répercussions.
Module 8 est offert en deux soirées en ligne le mardi 16 février 2021 18h30-20h30 & le jeudi 18 février 2021 18h30-20h30.
Vous devez vous présenter aux deux sessions pour recevoir votre certificat.
**Les directions auront une session supplémentaire d'une heure pour compléter le Module-date à déterminer.
Ensemble les éducatrices, les éducateurs et les directions vont explorer Module 8.
