This Leadership Academy will inspire early childhood program administrators—directors, coordinators, and family child care owner/operators—to consider the future of their programs and provide them with the skills and tools to motivate others. Leadership requires “forward, big picture thinking” which can be challenging when you are putting out the daily fires that overwhelm you. These refreshing training sessions will encourage you to reflect on your program and consider new ways to lead. Connect with other leaders to learn from their experiences and share what is working for you.

                  Plenary Session: The 5 Essentials of Leadership; Building an Emotionally Responsive Culture by the Book but Let's Use a "Different Book"!

                  08:30 AM - 10:00 AM
                    Steve Zwolak
                    Executive DirectorUniversity City Children's Center and LUME Institute
                    Steve has over 55 years of experience and personal reflection as a student of children, teachers, and leaders, advocating for professionals. He believes that educators must feel INSPIRED to be INTRIGUED in order to be MOTIVATED to deepen their feeling and thinking as they advance their practice in education. Steve's work in education and business has enabled him to build an APPROACH that focuses on Prosocial Skill Development based on Emotionally Responsive Educational practices with Teachers, Leaders and Parents, braiding education and mental health principles. In addition, he integrates developmental concepts of DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion). Steve focuses on a parallel process - helping our leadership hold the hearts and souls of educators, and families, so they can hold the hearts and souls of our children. Steve's Approach emphasizes the emotional development and wellness of Educators, Leaders, Families, and Children. Families are collectively critical to a child's life as they actualize their own life script, while enriching their school life. In addition, there is evidence that his work has the potential to close racial and socioeconomic achievement gaps. We know the foundation for diversity, inclusion and equity are embedded in the emotional development of children and students (the earlier the better). Steve teaches teachers that there is a major watershed from birth through 5 years of age, where children must begin to internalize and then socialize their understanding of diversity, inclusion, and equity to make it an embedded way of life. Steve believes that if children and students are physically safe, they will feel emotionally safe, and then they can take social risk as they feel socially safe and finally, they will be confident in their own competencies to take academic risk. “All learning happens in relationships”. Steve has been recognized locally, regionally, and nationally for my work with children/students, families, educators and leaders.
