Educational Leader's bundle

As an educational leader, you’re responsible for ensuring that educators at your service are learning, growing and reflecting on their practices. This bundle will support you in promoting further in-depth learning with your team around the topics of behaviour, the planning cycle, early childhood development theory, and how to better engage with your Quality Improvement Plan.

Use these resources in staff meetings, in your own practice or as a tool when mentoring with educators.
