Educational Leaders: Mentoring the Educator Team - Online Workshop 

Facilitated by Lainey Walker

The Educational Leader has an important and influential role in inspiring and motivating their team of educators, while shaping and extending their practice. But supporting educators’ pedagogy can be challenging; the word alone can trigger a seasoned educator.

In this session we will explore:

• The role of Educational Leader in supporting the professional development of their team
• Mentoring vs coaching – what is the difference, and what processes need to be established?
• Empowering educators to explore pedagogy through mentorship
• Fostering collaboration and engagement
• Advocating for educational leadership and the educational program
• Establishing communities of practice

Drawing upon The Educational Leader Resource (ACECQA, 2019) this session unpacks strategies for Educational Leaders to empower educators and improve educational practice across the service. This session also provides a valuable opportunity to explore and experience communities of practice. Join us to share and collaborate with other OSHC Educational Leaders, as we enhance our collective understanding of best practice in this important work.

This session is best suited to established Educational Leaders who are eager to explore “what’s next?” and discover what else is possible within this dynamic role.
