L.E.A.P.
L.E.A.P. = Leadership Empowerment Action Project - A joint venture of Wheelock College, the Schott Family Foundation, and the Center for the Child Care Work Force. MASS LEAP encourages Early Childhood educators to advocate for children and the profession in Massachusetts. Additional LEAP courses exist across the nation working for improvements in compensation and working conditions, in order to provide the best possible care and education for children!
This web site offers early education
and care professionals who work closely with children and families the
opportunities to expand their roles as leaders and advocates in the movement
toward universally accessible, high quality, affordable early childhood
programs. By surfing web sites, reflection and analysis, early childhood
educators are encouraged to consider the historical foundations of early
childhood education as well as the current socio-economic systems and policies,
which affect the field by examining theoretical frameworks of individual
and organizational leadership. In addition, concrete skill development
will be encouraged including: coalition building, effective organizing
and advocacy strategies, communications and media work. Good luck
and please contact us!
