A practical framework for pedagogical leadership in the early years

Pedagogical leadership in the early years cannot be left to chance. Designed for early childhood leaders in schools, the Lead with Intention Framework brings clarity to a role that is important, but not always well defined or well supported. The Framework explores:

• what early childhood pedagogical leadership involves
• what makes an early childhood pedagogical leader effective
• the support structures that enable leaders to be effective in their setting
• practical ways to strengthen culture and practice while empowering colleagues in the process

Created to raise awareness of the importance of early childhood leadership in schools, the framework helps leaders better understand their role, strengthen their influence, and lead pedagogy and practice with greater clarity and intention.
