Dealing with Difficult Parents
2025-09-09 15:30 - 17:00 (America/New_York) | Virtual via Zoom
What happens when parents become upset and emotionally “out of control” over a disagreement with the school? Educators are certain to encounter difficult parents at some point in their careers. Learn how and why disagreements happen and what you can do about them. We will discuss strategies, including de-escalation and crisis intervention techniques, as they apply to educator-parent interactions. Participants will come away from this session feeling both more prepared and more confident in handling the inevitable “difficult” interaction with a parent.

COHORT: Leadership #2 - Leader as Coach
2025-09-30 15:30 - 17:00 | Virtual via Zoom
May a school leader also be the instructional coach? Should they be? What are some state-of-the-art practices in teacher coaching? Like it or not, school leaders play an important role in coaching and directing teachers. Let’s discuss what happens when leaders are the only instructional coaches in the school, and what happens when leaders oversee the work of assigned instructional coaches. Clear coaching of teachers is more important than ever before. Find out ways to make coaching an integral part of your leadership style and an effective process in your school! BCHF’s leadership cohort is an accepting space where leaders discuss information, share out ideas and best practices, and, overall, support one another in the pursuit of great leadership and great schools!
