Early Childood Investigations Webinars: Principals as Early Learning Leaders: Effectively Supporting Our Youngest Learners, by Dr. Julie Nicholson, Dr. Thomas Williams Jr. and Dr. Helen Maniates
Description:
Because of the expansion of preschool programs in public school districts, the majority of principals are now required to supervise early childhood teachers and classrooms. Unfortunately, information on child development and early childhood education is not a mandatory component of administrative training programs in most states nor is it a top priority for professional development for administrators working in public school districts. As a result, nationwide, principals are expressing their interest in learning more about early childhood education so they can become effective early learning leaders. This webinar is designed to address this gap.
Drawing from their newly published book, Principals as Early Learning Leaders: Effectively Supporting Our Youngest Learners (2022), the authors discuss the pivotal role principals and school leaders can play in early learning programs. They highlight the foundations of child development and early childhood pedagogy that will support school leaders to be effective and equitable instructional leaders for our youngest learners.
