Give Staff Your Respect
February 15, 2007
Who you are speaks so loudly no one can hear what you say.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
In her article in Exchange, "Becoming a Director: Lessons Learned," Beth Engelhardt offers these staff building suggestions:
  • Respecting my staff allowed me to focus my attention on leadership and administration.
  • Hire skilled teachers who require little direct supervision.
  • Believe that your staff can do the jobs for which they were hired.
  • Expect that teachers will do their best in their classrooms.
  • Provide them with the resources to do their jobs (e.g., articles, books, journals, NAEYC membership, and paid time off for professional development).
  • Nurture your staff with recognition, respect, time to refresh, and be available to offer support and encouragement.
  • Compensate them with good pay and benefits.
  • Provide perks such as morale boosters, volunteers, thank you notes, small gifts of appreciation, and dinner at staff meetings.

Exchange everyday is keeping great contributions in dessiminating new knowledge in the field of Early Childhood Development. This service and initiative will be more fruitful to economically disadvantaged community people if you can find out and arrange more scholarships especially in the areas of getting reading materials easily. Thanks
