1 DIRECTORS TRAINING Leadership Module Session Two: Leading and Managing
2 ENHANCING LEADERSHIP AND EARLY LEARNING SERVICES (ELELS) The overarching goal of the ELELS series is to enhance early care and learning directors knowledge and skill of effective leadership strategies associated with promoting school readiness for young children. The ELELS series consists of three connected modules, Leadership, Center Environment, and Instructional Alignment; a support module, Family Engagement (integrated into ELELS but can be delivered as a stand-alone module); and one stand-alone module, Business Practices. The bolded module and session title indicates the specific content for this session as well as where this session fits in the flow of the ELELS series.
