Early childhood practitioners are often reluctant to see themselves
as leaders and managers. However, all those who work with young
children and their families, whatever their level of experience and
competence, have to undertake both of these roles on a daily basis.
. . This book encourages practitioners to recognise their active
involvement in leadership and management in relation to their work
as team leader or team member, and in their work with parents and
other professionals, to ensure appropriate and effective provision
for young children.
. . The authors identify a number of key principles involved in
effective early years leadership and management, which focus on the
idea that: . . Leadership is about influencing others to improve
and enhance childrens care, learning and development . . Leadership
is only effective if it develops the leadership of others by
supporting a team or group in meeting their declared aims or vision
. . Leadership is ultimately distributed, shared and dispersed in
early childhood settings. . These principles are supported by a
detailed exploration of the statutory demands made on practitioners
working with young children and their families, and reference to
relevant literature drawn from both early childhood studies and
leadership theories.
. . As well as providing guidance on the roles, responsibilities
and tasks facing early childhood leaders, the book features a
number of case studies and practical tasks, giving life to concepts
and ideas and enabling readers to apply theories and policies to
their own work settings. Additional activities at the end of each
chapter further support practitioners in fulfilling their
leadership and managementroles in practice.
. . . "Leadership and Management in the Early Years" is an
essential text for early years and early childhood studies students
as well as practitioners particularly those who are aiming for
Early Years Professional Status..
