Session One - Leadership in ELC: Self Evaluation & Quality Assurance

In the first of this year's sessions on Leadership in ELC we will consider the six themes of

the programme to reflect and self evaluate where you/your setting are currently on the

leadership journey. This should support you to decide which of the sessions to attend in

the future. We will then dig into the first theme of self-evaluation in more detail.

Examining the what, why and how of self evaluation with opportunities to reflect on your

own current practice, discuss with others and explore good practice examples and

supporting guidance. We will discuss the roles of SQIPS, actions plans, self evaluation

guidance documents, team meetings, feedback, internal and external scrutiny and quality

assurance calendars within the self evaluation process. You will be supported to develop

an action plan to implement any identified areas for development.

This is part of a six session programme exploring the role of the leader in ELC.

Attendees will benefit from improving their awareness of their own leadership strengths

and areas for development. Throughout the sessions you will be supported to reflect on

and improve your knowledge of the role of a leader in ELC and develop your skills in

leading others in ELC. Current frameworks, research, good practice guidance and sharing

good practice from across the authority will be used throughout the programme.

Each session will cover a different aspect of leadership in ELC, attendees are not

expected to attend all 6, but can if they choose.

Please book on to each session individually.
