International Leadership Research Forum in Early Childhood Education (ILRF – ECE)

International Leadership Research Forum in Early Childhood Education (ILRF – EC) brings together those interested in leadership research in the field of early childhood education from around the world. In coming together through this Forum, participants can learn from each other through the sharing of ideas, knowledge, and experiences about the work of educational leaders in the early childhood sector. It presents opportunities for members to ask questions, engage in critical reflection and provide constructive feedback. It is anticipated that engaging in collaborative research and writing will enable the generation of new knowledge and understandings about leadership in ECE.
