Hello,
As a new director to my current center, I moved to hold monthly staff meetings which increased by an hour. Meaning we host a staff meeting every month for two hours. My new staff are quite upset with this new layout.
Technically they do not need the professional development time, but they do need to discuss practices and procedures. I am looking for feedback as to what other programs are following for a staff meeting schedule.
I know NAEYC standards use to require 24 hours of PD per year, but that has since changed. Am I missing any requirements surrounding this or staff meeting in general (with the exception of the topics we must offer access to...)
Thanks in advance!
