As a consultant I have seen agencies excel because the Leadership TEAM works effectively together with One Agenda: "What's is in the Best Interest of Children & Families". The LEADERSHIP TEAM consists of the Board Chair, Policy Council Chair, Agency Executive Director & Head Start Director. My workshops closely review Shared Governance performance standards, and provide technical assistance in implementing operational and procedural changes for compliance in light of the December 2007 Reauthorization Act. Tools for strengthening the communications between the grantee board and policy council are provided, along with suggestions for conflict of interest, confidentiality and more.
As a former welfare mother and divorced/single parent who was actively involved in her son's education, I know first hand the frustrations of parenting and share both personal experiences and practical suggestions for such things as handling anger, working with difficult people, and what to do (and NOT do) when you want answers regarding your child! I include best practices from the network of Head Start programs and provide practical tips for avoiding an impasse. Call me to discuss your next Head Start workshop: 314.602.2PAM(2726) or email pamsomewhere@sbcglobal.net
