M2: Pedagogical Leadershi

(This is a two part session, you must attend both nights in order to receive a certificate.)**

Building upon the foundational concepts explored in Module 1: Image of the Child, this session invites participants to examine how pedagogical leadership shapes learning environments, decision-making, and relationships in early learning and child care programs. Grounded in the principles of Nova Scotia’s Early Learning Curriculum Framework (NSELCF), the module emphasizes the influence of values, beliefs, and reflective practices on leadership at all levels –from educators to administrators.

Through case studies, collaborative dialogue, and hands-on activities, participants will explore what it means to lead with intention, embrace change, and support inclusive, inquiry-based learning for children and adults alike.

Participants will:

• Recognize the role of social pedagogy in shaping inclusive practices and how it connects to the image of the child as capable, confident, and curious.
• Reflect on their own values, program philosophies, and leadership approaches as they relate to curriculum decisions and educator practices.
• Understand inclusion from a broader perspective and identify how pedagogical leadership can support equitable learning environments.
• Discuss the complexity of change in early learning and child care programs and explore tools to lead others through reflective, supportive transitions in practice.
• Deepen their understanding of the NSELCF’s five key elements and apply them in leadership and collaboration with colleagues, families, and communities.
