Synopsis
This course will introduce preservice teachers to the historical and comparative theory and practices associated with effective leadership and management with emphasis given to contextually relevant notions of leadership.
It will incorporate leadership knowledge and skills for early childhood teachers working with children, families, staff and community, responding to policy change and maintaining procedures which reflect current legal and ethical requirements.
Preservice teachers will engage with research, the National Quality Framework and professional standards as sources of professional learning and collaborate as a collegial team to explore issues relating to current trends that will impact their future roles as leader practitioners in early childhood contexts.
