Principal/Administrator Institute 10/24/2022 by Learning Services
In the aftermath of Covid, parents are more divided and on edge than ever. Disagreements over mask and vaccine mandates, remote learning, learning loss, not to mention the financial and life stressors that Covid brought, has left many parents, who previously had good relationships with their children’s schools, now at odds with administration.
How do schools restore and rebuild those relationships? In this engaging institute day, New York Times bestselling author and anti-bullying expert Jodee Blanco will offer specific strategies on how to handle the irate, unreasonable parent who storms into the office, frustrated and unwilling to listen, and begins bullying the school.
How do you calm that parent down and get them to listen and behave like an adult? How do you motivate him/her to work with the school in everyone's best interests? What shouldn't you say to an angry, bullying parent and why, and what should you say and do? What are the three tenets of Emotional Credibility in Communication and how do you apply them to inspire understanding with a challenging parent, and most importantly, collaborate on viable solutions that you implement successfully together?
This session will show participants how to transform a tense situation with a parent into an opportunity to forge a productive, rewarding partnership that enriches the school, the student, and the student's family.
