How is Leadership Booster differentiated from other existing leadership training by NIEC and/or ECDA?
Leadership Booster covers two out of three of the LDF clusters (i.e. core, and strategic and administrative leadership) to enhance centre leaders’ competence in communication and managing staff and stakeholders. It focuses on experiential learning and peer-centred interactions guided by experienced facilitators. In terms of format, the sessions are designed as six half-day sessions over four months to allow participants to take away what they have learned from each session, apply it at their centres and share their experiences at the next session. There is also a learning journey to a non-early childhood organisation and a fireside chat in each run to broaden EC leaders’ perspectives on leadership and management.
