This two-day course is for new leaders in early years settings and looks at how to become an inspirational leader. Getting your team on board with your vision and being able to give developmental messages can be difficult. Over the course of two days, you will examine your own leadership qualities and look at your strengths. You will also evaluate your weaknesses and devise a plan for how to improve your practice in these areas.

Between the two days, you will be given a ‘gap task’ that will enable you to put some of your skills into action.

We will look at:

1. Day One
1. What does it mean to be a leader?
2. What is my vision for the team, setting, children, and community?
3. What am I good at?
4. What do I need to develop?
5. Introduction to the ‘gap task’
2. Day Two
1. Feedback from the ‘gap task’
2. Practical skills and knowledge for leaders
3. Communicating and working with parents

This course will ensure your practice is in line with the requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage, The Early Years Framework and The Foundation Phase. It will also support your continuous professional development in line with the Early Years Teachers Standards.
