School Leadership in Early Childhood Education

Summary

The booklet School Leadership in Early Childhood Education by VVOB is a professional development resource designed for education officials and preschool leaders. Structured into 2 parts comprising 6 modules, the materials include:

  • Part 1 (Modules 1–3): Focuses on supporting school leaders to create an enabling environment for continuous professional development by balancing their management and leadership roles, while fostering a growth mindset and reflective practice.
  • Part 2 (Modules 4–6): Provides strategies to enhance teachers' professional skills, including coaching, conducting effective classroom observations, developing facilitation skills, and nurturing Professional Learning Communities (PLCs). 

The booklet provides key insights that emphasise pedagogical leadership and the creation of a reflective, open, and supportive culture focused working environment. This foundation is essential for effectively implementing continuous teacher professional development (TPD) that is needs-based, collaborative, reflective, and inquiry-based, thereby empowering teachers to take ownership of their professional growth and driving innovation.
