This course is designed for leaders in early childhood centres… whether you are leading:

• Large teams
• Small teams within a large team
• The curriculum
• Self-review systems
• Other delegated responsibilities

Leadership is about releasing the potential in those you lead – and often this is the biggest challenge of leadership – how to motivate others to be the best they can possibly be.

This initial course would cover:

• Leadership responsibilities – revisiting the indicators in Pou Arahi, (He Pou Tataki)
  and Practising Teacher Criteria 5
• Leadership Dispositions – exploring the ‘backbone’ of leadership
• Leadership Pipeline roles and responsibilities – especially Levels 1 and 2
• Leadership and professionalism
• Motivating adults as learners

There will also be a forum to discuss the challenges of leadership in 2016.

InterLEAD have a proven track record for providing innovative and challenging leadership programmes – it is hoped that this course could be a forerunner to setting up regular leadership cluster meetings based in Nelson and/or Blenheim.
