LEADERSHIP 3: START ANY TIME
Early childhood leaders must work in partnership with a wide range of stakeholders including other educators, management, parents and whānau, support services, primary schools and community groups. This course explores the range of collaborations and partnerships in which early childhood leaders are engaged and how these can be strengthened and supported to enhance teaching and leadership practice.
Includes membership of a Professional Learning Community (PLC)
Each course in our Leadership Series offers the opportunity to join a Leaders’ Professional Learning Community (PLC). The PLCs are designed to deepen your learning and enhance your experience of the course by providing opportunities to engage with and learn alongside other leaders in a small-group setting. They involve four online meetings with the other members of the PLC and four text-based discussions for sharing ideas. Each week a different person in the PLC will take the lead in facilitating the group, with guidance provided for this.
