Building Pedagogical and Organisational Leadership
Our aim is to help create a work culture in government systems that integrates child development and pedagogical skills, implementation skills, effective relationships, and personal growth at all levels of the organisation. Our approach is based on the theory that every level in the system needs to see themselves as change agents with a mission, rather than only as administrators with tasks to be completed. This role redefinition is fostered by a deep understanding of the value of their work, confidence that they possess the skills to bring it about, and an institutional commitment to providing them the agency to do so.
ENABLING THE SYSTEM TO TEACH ITSELF
The sustainable solution lies in building capacities so that each person in the system can train, monitor and coach their direct reports long after the programs have ended. In doing so the entire organisation commits to learning through doing, and creates a cadre of high-quality resource persons within the department.
A SYSTEMIC CHANGE
FCL’s programs have consistently managed to generate a high level of participant motivation and a substantial increase in skills and capacities among senior, mid-level and junior government officials.
As a result, systemic outcomes have improved substantially. The performance of children on key developmental indicators also show a marked improvement.
Our approach ensures that participants in our programs feel confident in implementing changes, as they are grounded in theory and tailored to their colleagues' needs. It also encourages open dialogue, feedback, and collaboration across different levels of the organization, leading to more robust implementation of initiatives.
