Leadership
Meaningful learning depends on the conditions we create for both children and educators. Here, we share reflections, practical frameworks, and resources to help school and program leaders support teachers, strengthen partnerships with families, and keep the learner at the center of their decisions.
Keeping the Learner at the Center
Keeping the learner at the center begins with making room to understand each child—their strengths, experiences, questions, and perspective. Leaders can support this work by giving educators time to observe, reflect together, and communicate with families. These shared observations provide a starting point for decisions about learning environments, teaching approaches, and the support children need to participate and grow.
Getting to Know Your Learner
A shared starting point for conversations about the learner. This printable guide helps educators and families record observations, listen to the child’s perspective, and consider one thoughtful adjustment. Leaders can use it to support team reflection and bring specific examples into discussions about a child’s learning.
