LEADERSHIP 1: STARTED FEBRUARY 19 – STILL ENROLLING

This course focuses on leaders as individuals and helps you to learn about a repertoire of leadership styles identified in research to creatively tailor a leadership style for your own contexts, people, and purposes. You will be supported to develop a philosophy for your personal leadership, to determine the kind of leader you want to be and the values that are important to you, and then to cultivate a set of actions and behaviours which help you to realise this leadership in practice.

The course is designed for those currently in leadership positions who are seeking to expand their skill set in leading themselves and others more mindfully and more authentically, and also for aspiring leaders who are looking to build a powerful foundation for their leadership journey. It is designed for leaders seeking a more inspiring way of thinking about their role and the potential impact they can have.

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 eight 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  

The complexity of leadership – introduces the range of leadership styles described in the leadership literature and the impact these have on others. Participants engage in creative activities to help them to reflect on their own practice.

PART 2  

Values – supports participants to identify and deepen the values that inform their vision for leadership and explores what visionary leadership is and how incorporating visionary leadership skills may enrich their leadership practice.

PART 3  

Processes – offers some theoretical and philosophical approaches to provoke thinking and reflection about the way in which participants see themselves, their team, and their setting coming together to create their particular early childhood practices. It also explores democratic leadership, including aspects of a kaupapa Māori perspective, and how these can empower teams to contribute in a range of ways.

PART 4  

People – focuses on leadership styles that put people at the centre of leadership practice, including affiliative leadership and servant leadership, and conceptualising leadership as a relational practice.

PART 5  

Culture – examines leadership through kaupapa Māori and Pasifika lenses, offering an opportunity for participants to broaden their perspectives and provoke their thinking.

PART 6  

Being authentic – synthesises all the learning about leadership during the first half of the course and supports participants to put this together to form a coherent leadership style, which is firmly anchored in their personal values of leadership.

PART 7  

Ethics – deals with ethical leadership, which is increasingly important in the context of
diverse communities and the complex interrelationships between aspects of practice in early
childhood education and their associated outcomes for children, teachers, and families.

PART 8  

Supporting yourself as leader – explores the importance of professional development and maintaining wellbeing as a leader, and supports participants to develop practices that ensure their ongoing development, wellbeing, and satisfaction.

“You guys are doing a FABULOUS job - keep up the great work. And thank-you for offering free webinars; readings etc - in this current climate it is so hard to find money for extra things and PD is usually the first thing that gets a budget cut.

As an HOD in a small school, in a small department usually made up of beginning teachers, it often falls on my shoulders alone to try and be up to date with ensuring our programmes are founded on sound pedagogical practices in terms of teaching in general and our particular curriculum area ... so I'm like a sponge when it comes to what you provide.”
