CHCORG627B All at sea scenario
Posted: Fri Jan 15, 2016 5:02 pm
Hi,
Just wondering if someone can tell me if I'm on the right rack and if they know of any more websites that could be helpful?
I have been stuck on this question for hours and need to get it done.
My answers are in blue
All at sea
Ann graduated with a teaching degree last year and after travelling for six months she now has her first job as a teacher and room leader in a large children’s service. While travelling Ann took the opportunity to visit a range of children’s services and has come back to Australia with lots of exciting ideas that she can’t wait to put into practice.
However, Ann has trouble settling in and is finding it difficult to connect with the team, whom she finds very ‘cliquey’ and seem disinterested in her ideas. Some of the team have been at the centre for years and Ann finds it surprising that they aren’t keen to embrace new practices.
Ann is surprised that she is finding the routines difficult to manage – she always seems to be running late and rushing from one thing to another. The children are really testing their limits with Ann and she finds herself giving in to them, often ignoring behaviours that she knows she should address. Her well thought-out plans are in tatters and she is feeling extremely inadequate.
Leaders in early childhood services must act as mentors to their team, supporting best practice and guiding professional development.
Explain why Ann may be having trouble adjusting and getting her team to trial new ideas.
Ann is only newly qualified for her role and hasn't been given a mentor or any support to guide her in her role.
Ann has just started at the service, so she needs to take the time to get to know her team and gain mutual respect. If she puts herself in the other team member’s shoes, they have been there for years, someone new turns up and starts trying to change everything as they know it. (would this be appropriate?)
If you were Ann’s mentor, what advice and support would you offer Ann?
Ann needs to gain the mutual trust and respect from her team.
Ann needs to have an awareness of her personality traits, professional practice and currency, personal traits, attitudes and beliefs and an awareness of her own perceptions as a leader. She needs to think of the style of leadership she is using on her team and how she could motivate and get her team involved.
