Teachers are leaders all day. They lead by example in the way they act, speak, and behave. They lead their students through challenging activities and rigorous learning. Then, they take on additional teacher leadership roles inside and outside the classroom.
This team building workshop is designed to help your team work together in ways you never thought possible! Fostering a creative environment to identify characteristics that lead to better teamwork. Together advance in problem solving and skills necessary to build confidence in team members through the ancient art of mask making to explore identity as a team member.
When we adequately prepare by having a conscious awareness of our limitations and constraints, we will be able to prepare for the future and become confident, creative problem solvers with a better knowledge of developing creative and innovative solutions. The process of art doesn't take place outside the box like we once thought but rather inside of it with constraints.
The Creating a Team Culture team building seminar can be customized to fit any time-frame and can easily be tailored to the specific needs of your group. Individual classroom team building modules are perfect for breakout sessions as well.

Just as a compass requires all four directions, a strong team requires members from all four directions. You will relate to aspects of all directions, but choose the one that is most resonant for you. Notice how your leadership style relates to other directions. There are characteristics belonging to each directions, and the knowledge creates a deeper understanding of one another. We discover our strengths as a member in the team in this workshop.
Sovereignty is language and communication. The things you do and the practices you were taught inform who you become. Culture is a broad term that encompasses beliefs, values, norms, behaviours, and overall can be understood as our “way of being.” When you go out into the world, you will come into contact with people from different backgrounds and actions. We explore together in this workshop.
