It draws on contemporary approaches to curriculum, pedagogy and assessment with a focus on effective pedagogies that contribute to enhanced learning outcomes for young children. Building on the pedagogical principles and practices of the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) the unit considers ways that educational leaders can promote thoughtful curriculum decisions that contribute to positive learning outcomes for young children. It analyses contemporary approaches to leadership and those that are understood to be most effective in early childhood settings – this includes an examination of models of distributed leadership.
