Leadership in Early Childhood Education: Six Standards and Strategies for Principals

Leadership in Early Childhood Education: Six Standards and Strategies for Principals - "In 2005, the National Association of Elementary School Principals (NAESP) published a guide entitled Leading Early Childhood Learning Communities - What Principals Should Know and Be Able To Do. The book identifies various indicators of quality preschool programs and has defined six standards for what principals should know and be able to do to reach those indicators. The guide offers “useful ideas, practices and tools that can help principals across the country bolster their leadership in pre-K learning.” In addition, the six standards provide guidance for school board members and other educational leaders to ensure the preschool program receives the necessary administrative support most associated with short and long-term benefits for children. Following is a compilation from NAESP’s six standards that characterize leadership for early childhood learning."
