MASTERSON AND TERI N. TALAN  \nLeadership development in early education and care is one of the most pressing priorities in the field today. The newly released report, Top Down-Bottom Up: Building a State Child Care Center Workforce (2024), emphasizes the critical role of program leaders.“Program leadership should be included in all aspects of stabilizing the workforce”(15) . While much attention and funding from local, state, and national policymakers has focused on building the qualifications of the workforce and supporting the skills of teachers, early childhood leadership holds the potential to stabilize and strengthen the workforce from within early childhood organizations. In turn, strong early childhood organizations have a positive impact on the strength and stability of communities and systems.  \nThe field must reposition leadership in early childhood programs as essential to advancing equity, justice, inclusion, and belonging, with leaders facilitating the practical and meaningful work of creating caring learning communities for staff and families, as well as children. Program administrators must step into the important role of the pedagogical leader as a matter of equity to ensure access to the highest quality teacher-child interactions, developmentally appropriate learning environments, and rich curriculum experiences that promote child development and learning. In these ways, strong program leaders are gatekeepers of quality, providing for the health and stability of programs, maximizing staffing resources and well-being, and collaborating within communities of practice to sustain effectiveness and impact.  \nSince 2017, the Whole Leadership Framework has provided a conceptual model for national competencies for early childhood program leaders. The framework is aligned with the Program Administration Scale: Measuring Whole Leadership in Early Childhood Centers, Third Edition (2022) by Talan, Bella, and Bloom, utilized by more than a dozen state Quality Improvement Systems and Aim4Excellence, which provides training for the national early childhood administrator’s credential, and utilized by 26 state professional development systems and the Department of Defense. The book, Building on Whole Leadership: Energizing and Strengthening Your Early Childhood Programs (2019) by Masterson, Abel, Talan, and Bella, is used nationally in higher education leadership coursework, as well as in other leadership training.  \nFor states embracing administrator credentialing and the use of competencies, the Whole Leadership Framework provides an organizing structure. For example, the Illinois Director Credential has ten administrative content areas organized by the three domains of the Whole Leadership Framework. Other states have used the framework as a model when developing core knowledge competencies for program administrators.  \nWith the seismic changes in the profession since 2017, the framework has been revised to reflect critical transformations. The revision processes and significant changes to the framework are presented in Updates to the Whole Leadership Framework: Responding to Voices in the Field, published in Exchange Press by Masterson, Talan, and Bella in the May 2024 edition of Exchange.  \nListening to the voices from the field is a core element of the current transformations in the early childhood education and care field. A new mantra – Nothing about us without us!—has been championed by an empowered workforce. In response, we recognize the many contributors and their significant contributions to the revised Whole Leadership Framework. These contributions include:  \n▪ Feedback from over 200 program leaders participating in the Building Leaders initiative who were asked whether the Whole Leadership Framework represents the competencies needed to effectively lead early childhood programs situated in centers, schools, and family childcar","cbCaigmQnVJw297N","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigmQnVJw297N","pdf",262506,"English","# Leadership development in early education and care\n## Workforce stabilization through program leaders\n## Whole Leadership Framework origins and alignment\n## State credentialing and competency use\n## Updates responding to field voices\n## Administrative Leadership competencies\n## Pedagogical Leadership competencies\n## Leadership Essentials and organizational culture","[{\"question\":\"What is the core purpose of the Whole Leadership Framework in early childhood programs?\",\"answer\":\"It provides a conceptual model for national competencies for early childhood program leaders, helping strengthen workforce stability from within early childhood organizations.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the framework support equity, justice, inclusion, and belonging?\",\"answer\":\"It repositions leadership as essential to advancing equity and ensures access to high-quality interactions, developmentally appropriate environments, and inclusive curriculum experiences.\"},{\"question\":\"What kinds of updates were incorporated into the revised Whole Leadership Framework?\",\"answer\":\"The revision process integrated feedback from program leaders and included updated competencies to address structural barriers, revise professional standards, and refine tools linked to measuring whole leadership.\"}]","Leading Change - The Vision and Impact of the Whole Leadership Framework | PDF",1792056474]
