Being Thorough: A Concept for Building High-Performance in Your Early Childhood Program
There’s no magic to creating dynamic learning environments or cultivating powerful relationships with children, their families, or staff members. Oddly enough the primary ingredient for success may just be simply…being thorough.
Over the years, the meaning of “high-quality” in early care and education programs has become murky and subjective. So much so, that many of us have lost a clear understanding of what high-quality actually looks like. But when we instill a culture dedicated to being thorough, there’s no ambiguity in our actions. It’s about being complete, precise, and aware of our actions and interactions.
In this webinar, presented by Christy Jones-Hudson, you will learn that high-performing teachers aren’t perfect, and they don’t always get it right the first time. But their motivation and passion go hand-in-hand as they sharpen their skills. They exude confidence and handle uncomfortable situations with ease and professionalism.
Being thorough nearly guarantees teachers will become performers. Thoroughness is a skill that’s quickly becoming extinct, but as a program leader you can guide teachers to become thorough and deliver outstanding care for children and families.
Join this webinar to:

Explore definitions of “high performance” and “high quality” in early care and education programs.
Explore the concept of being thorough and how it applies to our programs and staff.
Learn five strategies you can convey to your staff so they become more thorough instantly.
Engage in various scenarios that demonstrate thoroughness in comparison to inefficient practices.
