ECE Resolving Team Conflict - Sue Kurtovich

Wednesday 7th September 2022 | Delivered online (via Zoom) | Register here

About this workshop:

Constructive conflict can be healthy, it gets people talking, brings to light valid concerns and resolving it generally results in improvements. But destructive conflict can lead to a poorly functioning team, gossiping and cliques amongst staff, a negative impression on parents and a headache for the centre’s leader.

Learn how to:

Identify the causes of staff conflict in your centre
Create an environment where destructive conflict is minimised
Make constructive conflict work to your centre’s advantage
Successfully manage destructive conflict when it does arise
Build tolerance and respect between staff members

Sue Kurtovich is a ECE regulatory and compliance expert, with over 30 years of experience in advising and supporting ECE centres. Sue is based in Tauranga, regularly travelling the length and breadth of New Zealand to deliver seminars, workshops and in-house consulting services to the ECE Sector.

EP provides short, practical courses to assist relievers in their classroom practice, which require limited resources but are purposeful, fun and of educational benefit. Great value for money.

PD workshop attendee

Such a fun and enjoyable morning! It gave me lots of ideas to use in the classroom. The course leader was really experienced and had a realistic understanding of the challenges of a day in the classroom.

Primary teacher, Wellington (PD workshop attendee)

The Maths workshop run by Julie Roberts was wonderful. In two hours we learnt (and played!) many great games and activities for use in the classroom. All of the activities can be differentiated for different age groups and abilities and require minimal materials which made them extremely practical. I will definitely be attending more workshops like this one.

Primary teacher, Wellington (PD workshop attendee)

I found the simplicity of the activities and the integration of science, technology and maths particularly useful. Ben prompted and encouraged responses of rich vocabulary. His enthusiasm was very motivating considering science is not my strength! I also appreciated his commitment to tikanga Māori.

PD workshop attendee

As always, Julie's passion for mathematics shone through and she motivated and inspired me to want to take it back and try it in the classroom.

Primary teacher, Wellington (PD workshop attendee)

Phillippa facilitated a meeting of minds. I enjoyed the informal setting as it allowed for small group and whole group discussions without fear of judgement. These discussions helped critique strategies and activities and improvements and variations were suggested for practical purposes. It was awesome!
