Season 2, Episode 8: Setting Expectations for — and Connecting with — Your Child Care Staff, with Chanie Wilschanski
Description
Chanie Wilschanski is known as the "school culture doctor" because she can diagnose the root cause of the struggle in a child care center in less that 10 minutes.
She's an early childhood leadership coach and the CEO of Schools of Excellence, and in this podcast she discusses what she sees in those 10 minutes and much more.
" You need to understand where you're spending your time," Chanie says. "And then you can hit your goals."
She talks about making sure you're setting appropriate expectations for your staff while maintaining high standards and staying true to your values.
Chanie also describes how to connect with your teachers, which is so vital as early childhood education leaders struggle to find and retain staff, as well as the importance of taking care of yourself.
Her goals are:
- Not to teach you what to think, but how to think
- Not to show you what you’re lacking, but remind you that everything you need is inside you
- Instead of showing you 50 steps, the next one step that gives you a win
