• Unit 6 Synopsis and Checklist

Topic 7 Course Description:
2 Clock Hours
CDA Settings:

• Infant/Toddler
• Preschool
• Family Child Care (Mixed-Age)

Directors and administrators can benefit from building a solid team of professionals to fill the positions in their centers. Lead teachers and support staff are not the only members of the team that should mesh well together. The children and families that a center serves will trust and appreciate a team of caregivers that is cohesive and effective. This course will give directors and administrators practical information, tools, and resources to assist in building a terrific team for their center.​     

Learning Outcomes:

• After reading required course materials participants will identify strengths and weaknesses within a team through peer discussion.
• After reading required course materials participants will describe the basics in creating a strong team through a digital worksheet to check for understanding.
• After completing required reading and videos about building a strong team participant will analyze hypothetical situations for effective team building principles through self-reflection and assessment.
• As a result of analyzing a mock mission statement participant will explain a mission statement and how to create one through a digital worksheet.        

**  A special thank you to Aurora Tollestrup, BS Ed for developing the curriculum for this topic. **
