Description
Leadership and Management
Early childhood administrators need to be well-versed in standards
set by the National Association for the Education of Young Children
(NAEYC). Having comprehensive knowledge of these standards will help to
ensure a quality early childhood program. Review the article, “Overview of the NAEYC Early Childhood Program Standards
” with particular attention to Standard 10: Leadership and Management.
Rationale:
Excellent programming requires effective governance structures,
competent and knowledgeable leadership, as well as comprehensive and
well-functioning administrative policies, procedures, and systems.
Effective leadership and management create the environment for
high-quality care and education by:
- Ensuring compliance with relevant regulations and guidelines
- Promoting fiscal soundness, program accountability, effective communication, helpful consultative services, positive community relations, and comfortable and supportive workplaces.
- Maintaining stable staff; and
- Instituting ongoing program planning and career development opportunities for staff as well as continuous program improvement.
Application:
You are the director of your own childcare center. Using Standard #10 in “Overview of the NAEYC Early Childhood Program Standards”
as a guide, create an eight- to ten-slide PowerPoint presentation to
share with your staff, demonstrating the following NAEYC points:
- Effective communication
- Explain how you will effectively communicate with your staff.
- Comfortable and supportive workplaces
- Describe how you will create a comfortable and supportive workplace for your staff.
- Career development opportunities for staff
- Discuss how you will create professional development opportunities for your staff.
- Hiring and retention
- Explain how you will attract and retain quality staff members.
Your eight- to ten-slide PowerPoint presentation (in addition to your title and reference slides) should:
- Creatively address the material including graphics, visuals, charts, graphs, and/or sound;
- Be designed to clearly and concisely address the material;
- Be formatted according to APA style, including the title slide, reference slide, and in-text citations;
- Utilize the notes section of the PowerPoint to expand on the presented points. These notes would be your talking points when presenting this to your staff; and
- Use at least one scholarly source in addition to the course text.
