Creating a Culture of Reflective Practice: The Role of Pedagogical Leadership in Early Childhood Programs

Friday March 24, 2023 from 9:00am-3:00pm

Holiday Inn Oakville Centre- 590 Argus Road, Oakville

Registration begins at 8:30am

We are living in a rapidly changing world, where we are becoming more aware of the societal and environmental challenges that impact all of us. As people who live and work with the earth’s youngest humans, we make decisions every day that have an extraordinary impact on children, ourselves and our communities.

As early childhood educators and leaders, how might we start to evolve our approach to early learning and take up the work of creating inclusive, vibrant learning communities in a way that is responsive to our times? How might we nurture an approach to leadership that is constructed around relationships rather than rules? How do we focus our teaching practices around compassion, curiosity, imagination, experimentation, collaboration, innovation, and kindness?

This full day session is supported by using a reflective model which invites participants to think with the ideas shared over the course of the day within their small learning communities. These groups are supported by a table facilitator from your community. In an effort to ensure that facilitators have the tools needed to make these break-out discussion’s rich experiences for all, we will provide a brief facilitation session ahead of the institute.

This Professional Learning Opportunity has been supported through Workforce Funding.
