Professionalism and Leadership in Early Childhood Education and
Care explores the tension between what early years practitioners
are expected to achieve, and the level of expertise and
understanding required to underpin this. It examines the impact of
recent policies on the agency of individual practitioners, and the
culture and ethos of their settings, and questions the driving
factors behind reforms to curriculum and practice and where this
locates practitioners and their provision. Bringing together the
latest research and ideas on professionalism and leadership, the
book explores how professional status is understood and acquired
and what makes this problematic in ECEC. It explores the impact of
different leadership approaches, what needs to be challenged and
sets out how the workforce might assert its own identity and values
and continue to advocate for the needs of young children. Including
case studies to illustrate the lived experiences of individual
practitioners as they worked towards becoming graduate
professionals, this will be valuable reading for early years
professionals engaged in undergraduate and postgraduate study and
those researching policy development and professional identity
within ECEC.
