Information on Professional Development Workshop for Junior High School Teachers
I. Workshop Introduction:
In life, "relationships" are everywhere. Teachers' work also requires interaction with others, including student counseling, parent-teacher communication, and collaboration within the school system. These interpersonal relationships often carry different role expectations, and the quality of our interactions with others affects our sense of self-worth and how we view ourselves. In this workshop, you will learn how to build good interpersonal relationships, satisfy the needs for "intimacy" and "autonomy" in interpersonal interactions, and have healthy relationships that allow you to live freely and beautifully in your career and family.
