Sustainable pedagogical leadership in early childhood education and care: Implementing the 2012 Australian national quality standard

(2017) Sustainable pedagogical leadership in early childhood education and care: Implementing the 2012 Australian national quality standard. Masters by Research thesis, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

This historical case study combined two quality areas in early childhood education and care (ECEC), sustainability and pedagogical leadership, introducing the new term Sustainable Pedagogical Leadership in ECEC (SPLE). SPLE includes principles embedded in sustainability and Education for Sustainability (EfS) combined with contemporary approaches to pedagogical leadership unique to ECEC settings. This represents an innovation in the way that pedagogical leadership can be framed in ECEC. Key characteristics of SPLE identified were providing clear vision, mentoring, professional learning, critical reflection and distributed leadership opportunities. SPLE led to an exceptional organisational culture. Enculturated practices were observed in EfS as a result.
