The Power of Accountability: Driving Ownership in Your Child Care Center
Cindy Maher and Katy Kessler
Most childcare directors and managers want teachers and employees to act like owners. But what does that really
mean? What they’re looking for is a shift in culture – where people don’t pass the buck or drop the ball. They’re
looking for employees, at all levels, to own mistakes and not blame others or make excuses. Accountability means
having a sense of ownership of processes and problems that cut across classrooms AND the willingness to face
consequences that come with success or failure. People are usually willing to own success; they’re less willing to
own mistakes or unmet goals. With a unique and engaging blend of improvisational comedy, cutting edge research,
and audience interaction, this learning session will build your awareness around how much ownership is really taken
on your team – and what you may be doing that gets in the way of the accountability you want.

Dawn Braa
Play, passion, and professionalism are all critical elements in the field of early childhood. Unfortunately,

time to reclaim your passion and get serious about play! Learn. Love. Lead. Be the best version of YOU!

ME and WE: The Role of Goals, Intrinsic Motivation, and Teamwork in Building Sustainable Excellence
Dr. John Tauer
How do we get people to work together towards a common goal? How can we build teams that are cohesive and
enjoyable? How can we achieve success while enjoying our work and our co-workers (teammates)? Research on
intrinsic motivation and team building, combined with anecdotes from Dr. John Tauer, head coach of the 2016
National Championship University of St. Thomas Men’s Basketball team, weave a fascinating story of how motivation
at the individual and group level can be understood to maximize performance and enjoyment.
