ARCQE - Professional Learning Community (PLC) Series - These Are the Director Skills You Need to Thrive in the New Canadian Childcare System!

Event Date
Tue, Oct 10 2023, 7 - 8pm

Changes are coming soon to the Canadian Childcare System. The important, and already challenging, role of the early childhood director is taking on new dimensions. While sources of revenue may ease, managing expansion of childcare slots, staff and expectations will present new challenges. Now is the time to assess your own skill areas and build competence and confidence to successfully manage your changing organization and accountabilities, with special focus on managing time and finances through this evolutionary time. Get ahead of coming changes and be a well prepared leader in the roll-out of a new childcare system.

In this series, learners will:

  1. Identify essential skills for effectively leading and managing an early childhood organization
  2. Explore anticipated changes in the director's role and essential skills with anticipated changes to the Canadian childcare system
  3. Self-Assess own current levels of organizational, management, leadership and financial skills
  4. Create a personal professional development plan based on self-assessment and emerging skill needs
  5. Enhance essential skills in two commonly needed skill development areas - time management and financial management

*Only the actual session times count towards Release Time, which is 2 hours for this series

We acknowledge that what we call Alberta is the traditional and ancestral territory of many peoples, presently subject to Treaties 6, 7, and 8. Namely: the Blackfoot Confederacy – Kainai, Piikani, and Siksika – the Cree, Dene, Saulteaux, Nakota Sioux, Stoney Nakoda, and the Tsuu T’ina Nation and the Métis People of Alberta. This includes the Métis Settlements and the Six Regions of the Métis Nation of Alberta within the historical Northwest Metis Homeland. We acknowledge the many First Nations, Métis and Inuit who have lived in and cared for these lands for generations. We are grateful for the traditional Knowledge Keepers and Elders who are still with us today and those who have gone before us. We make this acknowledgement as an act of reconciliation and gratitude to those whose territory we reside on or are visiting.
