Communication among educators is crucial for a team’s sustainable development. Lack of

cohesion and common belief among educators can be considered as one of the major causes of

disagreements among educators. Through this program educators will become self-aware of

their roles and responsibilities as educators and leaders. In this workshop, I will go through

some lenses through which we listen to “the other”. By doing so we will tackle off the

communication barrier which already exists among humans. Once these barriers are taken care

of, all the educators will find themselves on the same page. This will enable the leaders to

communicate with their educators more effectively and the educators members will be able to

“listen” to the leaders from a newly acquired context. Thus, creating a safe and supportive

environment for all educators. Furthermore, this will enhance educators’ abilities in building

strong relationships with the children in care. Communicating with children and providing them

with space to be understood by educators can create a sense of belong for the children.

We will then extend on this new understanding to the interactive supervision. We will

distinguish between Active and Interactive Supervision which will be theoretically supported.

In this workshop, educators will be able to see what makes an effective supervision as compared

to the already existing practice. In this way, the leaders will be able to establish interactive

supervision expectations which are crucial for children engagement.

This is an effective session for service leaders too. This will expand on leaders’ ability to

communicate powerfully of their expectations from educators and children in care. Also, it will

assist them in reflective listening abilities, thereby creating an efficient and caring environment

at their workplace.
