Each session explores an aspect of the Director’s Role. Participants can choose the session that meets their current needs, dip into one session or attend all 6 for a comprehensive look at the role and responsibilities. 

Directors Toolkit - Leadership & Advocacy

“True leaders create more leaders,” John C. Maxwell.

No one can do the important work that we do in early childhood on their own. It requires a team of people, working together to accomplish great things for children and families.

In this session participants will think about leadership and their role and what makes a good leader, they will also learn to understand their own leadership style. Participants will also discuss current issues of advocacy and reflect on their own role as an advocate.

Others sessions in the Directors Toolkit suite includes;

- Compliance & Quality

- Working with management planning and policy

- The team staff relationships

- Administrative Responsibilities

- Family and Community partnerships

NB 14/12/2020: On 30 November 2020, the endorsement of all NESA endorsed providers was cancelled and registered courses were deregistered. A new policy for the Accreditation of Professional Development courses was released. The new application processes will be published and phased in during 2021. In line with this, CELA will submit an application for our courses to be re-assessed and re-accredited.

After 5 February 2021, courses will need to be accredited to continue contributing towards the maintenance of teacher accreditation requirements. CELA will continue to keep you informed and updated based on information that is progressively received from NESA regarding this re-accreditation process.
