The role of the educational leader is primarily to:
- collaborate with educators and provide curriculum
direction and guidance
- support educators to effectively implement the cycle of
planning to enhance programs and practices
- lead the development and implementation of an effective
educational program in the service
- ensure that children’s learning and development are
guided by the learning outcomes of the approved learning
frameworks.
The educational leader also has a significant role in:
- guiding and developing educators and families’
understandings about play and leisure-based learning,
and the significance of the early years in the education
continuum for children

of educators

relationships and interactions with children to assist
their learning through play and leisure-based programs;
developing documentation that is meaningful, relevant and
promotes reflection on educators’ pedagogy and practice
- drawing on educators’ strengths to develop professional
skills and confidence
- mentoring and supporting educators to assess learning
- ensuring the assessment and planning cycle is applied
to each child and the program as a whole
assisting educators to understand and implement reflective
practice and leading critical reflection discussions to
examine policies, programs and practice
- talking to families about the educational program.
