Building A Supportive Professional Learning Community, Jen Jackson, Andrea Nolan, Stephen Lamb

Dr Jen Jackson

This presentation aims to help ECEC leaders and practitioners create more supportive professional learning communities, by enabling educators to better understand the relationship between who they are and what they can do. Drawing on current research, it will prompt delegates to reflect on how their own background shapes their practice, and extend this thinking to others in their professional communities. This presentation will be valuable for educational leaders, and others responsible for leading learning and professional development within diverse professional teams. It includes practical suggestions for enhancing educators’ critical reflection, taking a strengths-based approach to developing their practice.
