Understanding and measuring leadership in center-based early care and education to inform policy and practice

Description:

Effective leadership is an important component of high quality early care and education (ECE). Practice and policy in ECE is broadening its view of leadership beyond just management functions to include leadership for change, improvement, and innovation. The Early Care and Education Leadership Study (ExCELS) was launched to help define leadership in center-based ECE settings that serve children birth to five and understand how leadership can support quality improvement.
