Leadership and collaboration
|
The dictionary definition of leadership is "the action of leading a group of people or an organisation". But, as all early childhood managers will understand, it's more complicated than this. Good leadership embraces many qualities and there are as many definitions of leadership as there are leaders.
In early childhood education an Educational Leader is required to develop, support, encourage and motivate their team, as well as modelling a high standard of practice, knowledge and care. Embedded in the National Quality Standard, the educational leader is also responsible for leading the development of the curriculum at the service.

Embracing diversity in Harmony Week
|
Get ready to wrap yourself – and the classroom – in shades of orange as Harmony Week headlines celebrations across the country. This week-long festival runs from 15-21 March, culminating in Harmony Day on Saturday 21 March, and is an opportunity to recognise the wide range of people and cultures that make up Australia.
Harmony week is a wonderful time for early childhood services to celebrate and raise children's awareness and appreciation of the diverse cultures around them. The orange icing on top of the cake is Harmony Day, which coincides with the United Nations International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination.
