Early Education Leaders is excited to announce that we are now accepting submissions for the 5th edition of the Early Childhood Care and Education Leadership Development Compendium: A View of the Current Landscape.
As the only comprehensive catalog of leadership development programs in the early childhood education (ECE) field, the Compendium serves as an essential resource for practitioners, researchers, policymakers, and funders. This updated edition will continue the tradition of tracking and analyzing the landscape of leadership development programs in the ECE sector, making visible this vital yet often underdeveloped infrastructure in our field.
About the Compendium
Since its first publication in 2009, the Leadership Development Compendium has captured evolving trends in the field’s knowledge base and highlighted the clear need for more leadership development opportunities for practitioners at every level. The Compendium provides:
- A state-by-state description of available ECE leadership programs
- A comprehensive assessment of the leadership landscape informed by program representatives
- A valuable resource for anyone interested in ECE leadership development
Early Education Leaders assumed responsibility for producing future editions of the Compendium in 2021, continuing the groundbreaking work initiated by Stacie Goffin of the Goffin Strategy Group, LLC, who serves as an advisor on this project.
