Building Trust with Faculty: Critical Skills for Academic Leaders
Dates Offered: July 12 - 23, 2021
DESCRIPTION
The relationships between faculty and school administrators has been under tremendous pressure during the past two school years. Leaders’ prior systems for building trusting relationships with faculty members have been tested in myriad ways.
How can leaders develop better ongoing systems for understanding and supporting the faculty they lead? In this course, academic leaders will learn how to better support teachers who are facing change, disruption, or challenges professionally and in their lives. Participants will learn how to lead affirming coaching conversations that foster healthy, trusting relationships, so that the resulting professional culture provides support for faculty members that mirrors the schools’ concern for and support of students.
