ECE 520 - Balancing Ethical and Moral Considerations in Leadership in Early Childhood Education

3 Unit(s)
Effective early childhood leadership that is rooted in a commitment to social justice requires the examination of one's own beliefs, values, morals and assumptions as these inevitably impact one's practice with children, families and professionals. Accessing these parts of one's self and evaluating them in light of a leadership role in early childhood education allows opportunities to recognize one's moral and ethical strengths and assumptions and the ways in which these intersect with those of others in our care. Cultural differences will be considered, and strategies for bridging these differences in service to all children and families will be explored.
