Teach Adults To Get Results
Deep Dive Master Class
Evaluation of your Deep Dive experience [link]
Think of the dashboard as your home base as well as “library” for all digital files related to your Deep Dive Master Class. The dashboard will also house session audio files and notes.
The dashboard is not interactive, therefore, if you have questions, want to share a resource, or are looking for “tribe” support, please use our FaceBook group.
Here is the ZOOM link that we’ll use across all four session: https://zoom.us/j/273070146

- Session 4 Recording – totally forgot to record…so sorry…but I’ll have expanded notes here.
- Basically reviewed the importance of EQ in getting to a change in practice.
- Discussed our EQ quiz results – focusing on how we sometimes have a higher EQ at work than in our personal lives. We also shared a bit about our struggle with self-regulation and spirituality in particular. Then we started a conversation about how we might use the EQ with colleagues/families we work with/serve.
- Recommended that we scaffold people’s “awakening” to the importances of EQ. Recommended using a 3rd object”and/or starting with work that is further removed, start with Pre-K podcast about seeing the child behind the behavior, then why coaching doesn’t work, then the EQ quiz.
- Session 4 Action Steps
- Maria: Excited to dig into the resources/strategies shared under spirituality, and the tree of contemplative practices in general. Think about how and connect with the PD consultants/trainers who are “popular”/requested often and begin to dig deeper into why. Determine if they are already embedding and incorporating many of these strategies into their PD delivery.
- Beth: Delve into the strategies for each of the 5 EQ skills/areas. Continue to apply to work with ELL families (e.g., establishing a ritual in terms of starting and ending home visits). Continue to model and support EQ skills – with a focus on social awareness with ELL families.
- Sue: Personally continue to be in the moment with each teacher. Perhaps set a policy about responding to others, but will talk with teachers to see what would make sense to allow you to be responsive but also fully present. Continue a daily reflection practice and use the phrase “I wonder” more. Dig into the resources shared and find a way to organize them for continued use.
