Leading Change Toward Nature-based Teaching: A Focus on Preparing Ourselves as Leaders

Rachel Larimore, Samara Early Learning’s Chief Visionary, will be presenting a free webinar hosted by Early Childhood Investigations Webinars.

Here is the webinar description:

Early education program leaders around the world are increasingly enthusiastic about nature-based learning. Many leaders want to jump in wholeheartedly but find shifting the culture of their organization incredibly challenging. In this this action-focused webinar designed for program leaders and administrators, experienced early childhood nature-based program leader and author, Dr. Rachel Larimore will share her Trail Map for Leading Change as an approach for inspiring and supporting staff to move toward nature-based teaching. The first step of the Trail Map is preparing yourself as leaders for the journey to ensure you are ready to lead change within our team. This requires doing inner social-emotional work.

Talk of social-emotional health of children is common in early childhood, but we rarely stop to consider how adult relationships, with ourselves and others, influence our professional roles in early childhood. In this session, Dr. Larimore will guide you to explore the many social-emotional factors that impact your ability to lead change toward a nature-based teaching approach.

You will learn about character traits that influence your roles as a leader. We will discuss how you can do the inner work yourself to show up more fully as an educator, teammate, and change leader. Finally, we will also discuss actions you can take to support your team to dig more deeply and move forward individually and as a team.

Though the webinar is free, registration is required. Register today!
