    ELC 6002 – Leadership – A Shared Vision for Teachers, Families and Leaders

    by Kathy Douglas -

    ELC 6002 – Leadership – A Shared Vision for Teachers, Families and Leaders

    A vision for an early childhood center or family childcare home can’t be just one person’s idea. As a director, you may have the initial inspiration for your program’s purpose, but for these ideas to grow, you must steadily invite the interest and involvement of others. This course will focus on shared communication, ideas, and educational hands-on activities that share a vision for our children.
