Straight from the Field: Reflections on the Director's Job
Spence, Jo-Ann
Exchange: The Early Childhood Leaders' Magazine Since 1978, n159 p60-63 Sep-Oct 2004
The first and perhaps most important thing for a director to remember is that THINGS WILL HAPPEN! The mix of parents, teachers, children, regulations, building problems, and so on is so complex and filled with so many elements out of control that things happening--good and/or bad--is a given. In this article, the author shares some skills from hard lessons learned over 17 years of finding what works and what does not.
