Title - Leadership and advocacy
Leadership and advocacy is significant for providing correct and accurate
direction to individual in order to successfully and effectively conduct required task in
more appropriate manner. Leadership and advocacy can be describe as the two of
more complex components of work for all the teachers and educators in the starting
of educational and care environment of childhood. It has acknowledged that the
leadership practices during childhood learning and eduction includes the formal
position. This type of practices are majority related to teacher or educator. (Rodd,
2013). As the process of leadership, it is promoting the improvement of the quality of
early childhood education (Storlie and et.al., 2019). This essay aims to criticize and
analyse the concept of leadership correlate to working in early childhood settings
with three relevant readings and personal reflection to support it. Since technology
and digital resources show an indispensable part for all children in their development
and learning, early childhood professions must have the responsibility to advocate
and be prepared to use appropriate technology to young children. Follow by an
achievable advocacy plan that able to undertake in this specific area, which
cultivates an excellent learning environment for all children.
Leadership can be described as a vital component of a high-quality early
childhood program. The leadership practices during primary childhood education
sector can be summarised as a significant process of developing that positive
environment. There is no doubt that the majority of people often think about this with
immature children, but leadership also means developing a environment that is
positive as well as strength-based for every person with in the program. It raised a
question about how to model leadership position so that people are performing their
real best self to this specific field. The leader can be describe as a person who is
supporting at imitating stage of childhood professional as well as shares a
complementary method to proceed with the changes that lead to the expected
prospect (Smylie and Eckert, 2018). It accentuates the importance that finds the way
that clear and intentional as leaders. It has been determined that advocacy during
imitating stage of childhood is significant for improving as well a enhancing the lives
of different child along with their families. This is helpful in influencing the legislation
as well as creating policies for correctly performing child care practices. There is

always a significant gap between where we are and where we want to go in early
childhood settings. We could apply the most appropriated procedures in terms of
strength to encourage teachers and educators to become committed and passionate
and being intended in their daily work. Leadership is not only considered to a specific
style or approach but also with the nature of relationships between the leaders and
followers (Moreillon, 2018). There are various ethical obligation in the early childhood
professionals while advocated for child with families through virtue of their role and
responsibility. This will lead to impact of health and well being of the individual child.
Leaders in the early childhood education field will need to expand their
understanding of the specific role in the larger community and consider the national
vision for the early childhood years. Leadership models need to be drawn upon the
accumulative capability and passions of those early childhood professions, and it
means both internal and external members as well as associates supply frameworks
that accomplish the quality outcomes (Rosenbach, 2018). According to
Stamopoulos’ research study 2 (1996-2001), most of the employee who determined
the specific changes as the optimistic approaches among the working environment
which include the direction or leadership as well as intensive in order to aid
structures and other relevant internal and external resources. However, the teachers
and educators who have experienced inefficient supports tend to have a different
opinion about this matter. Most of them have arisen the concerns and criticised
about those leadership and guidance approaches in the early childhood
environment, and commanding that it is necessary to have internal and external
supports in the organisation. It is crucial that leaders have strong relationship with
child and their family member in order to successfully and effectively required
practices. This will assist in gaining trust as well as effectively conduct set of
activities in more effective and accurate manner. This relation will help in providing
accurate advice and suggestions for correctly functioning of business.
The pedagogy of leaderships encourages early childhood teachers and
educators when they feel threatened and not respected for who they are, also
supports the beliefs in their mind are always right for young children. Moreover, it
helps people in the early childhood sector feel self-esteemed and flourishing and
sparkle the light of their strengths. The critical skills of leadership could be the broad
range, but it is vital to start with strength-based communication. Evans and Stone-
