JANUARY 2008
25 - Boston AEYC Annual Directors' Conference
Burlington, MA
Contact: baeyc.org
or Call 617.522.0881
10:15 - 12:15 p.m. - Give me your tired, your weary, your restless
teachers yearning for a Carribean cruise:
Burn out is only 10 feet away at any moment. Early childhood professionals
give and forget to take time for themselves. Directions wonder what they
can do to help staff help themselves. Let's look beneath the surfacr to
find what restores our souls, nousihes our imaginations and fuels resistence.
2-4 p.m. - Challenging Interpersonal Issues: Mental Health or ADA
Issues?
A teacher blames performance problems on depression and stress and considers
her job and relief requests 'guaranteed' under the ADA. Family or health
issues affect other staff, too. How do you negotiate the alligator-laden
moat between ADA compliance and holding staff to a high level of performance?
