Supporting new and emerging leaders

One person alone cannot lead an early childhood service. Leadership that is distributed throughout a service can provide the level of support necessary to build educator participation and commitment. However, leadership requires careful nurturing to develop and a director and positional leaders can play a significant role in building effective leadership throughout the service.

This session will explore:

Leadership responsibilities of different leaders
Inclusive leadership
Leadership styles
Scaffolding leadership
Building confidence
Leading professional conversations.
