The EYLF V2.0 has been updated with three new principles, including Collaborative Leadership and Teamwork. The importance of effective leadership in early childhood education and care is well documented including the relationship between effective leadership and outcomes for children. This goes beyond formal leadership positions, to include leadership principles and practices enacted by children and educators. (ACECQA, 2023)
 

This 2-hour session will focus on the collaborative leadership and teamwork practices service leaders can implement to improve the quality of their service, including ways to empower children and educators.
