This course explores leadership practices for strategy development and improvement journeys in early childhood settings. Participants will explore what it means to be the leader of curriculum and pedagogy in their centre, and will build the knowledge and practical skillset to be able to do this effectively. A particular focus will be on the high impact activities that contribute to improvement in early childhood practice and pedagogy, and the consideration of how these connect to the unique context of a leader’s own environment.
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.

What you’ll learn on this course
The course is structured into seven parts, with each part designed to take about a week to work through, although participants are free to work at their own pace.
PART 1
Notions of Quality – problematises the notion of quality in early childhood contexts, providing participants with a sophisticated notion of what effective teaching and learning can look like in their setting.
PART 2
Pedagogical leadership – explores structures for pedagogical leadership, both formal and informal, and how leaders can maintain a pedagogical focus in their leadership.
PART 3
Assessment and evaluation tools – examines assessment and evaluation as a key aspect of pedagogical leadership as it allows leaders to understnad what children know and can do.
PART 4
Embracing and responding to complexity – establishes the complexity of an early childhood environment, and the need for clear strategy development and principles for practice and pedagogy.
PART 5
Curriculum design – unpacks the principles that underpin effective curriculum design and explores case studies from early childhood centres to show what these can look like when applied in different contexts of practice.
PART 6
Developing conditions for innovation and learning – examines the notion of creative leadership and the conditions required for creativity, and supports leaders to identify how they can implement more creative thinking and innovation in their setting.
PART 7
What is strategy? Uncovers what strategy is (and what it is not), examines how to ensure strategies are well-aligned with core purposes of centres, and supports their positive reception and implementation.
PART 8
Designing your strategy – Explores the processes that underpin strategy formation and provides participants with a strategy development process they can utilise in their own context of practice.
