Program Leadership Administrator Checklist

Program leadership is the vision, systems, and decision-making that shape a birth-to-three program. Administrators use this checklist to lead with intention. It prompts you to keep a clear vision that prioritizes language access and ASL and English Bilingual development, include Deaf and hard of hearing adults in leadership and advisory roles, and make sure Bilingual, language-rich practices reach every child and family. It also covers reviewing policies and staffing through a language-access lens, using data to guide improvement, and sharing decisions openly with families and staff.
