In this subject, students use the conceptual frame of pedagogical leadership to examine discourses of leadership and pedagogy in early childhood settings to re-shape practice. The principles and practices of Belonging, Being and Becoming: The Early Years Learning Framework for Australia are used as a basis for critical reflection on the student’s own practice and areas for ongoing learning and change. Students will develop their research skills and capacity to lead pedagogy by engaging in critical analysis of current research and evolving theories of leadership to design and undertake an action research project. This subject is included in the Transition Phase of the Master of Teaching program.
