This forward-thinking text challenges educators to think about and
question the purpose of education and explores international
understandings of the role played by early years professionals in
promoting participatory, ethical and reflexive practice which
benefits children as independent decision-makers. By exploring the
different perspectives, concepts and practices adopted in early
childhood settings in Denmark, Finland, Aotearoa, New Zealand and
Sweden, Empowering Early Childhood Educators demonstrates the
potential of participatory and democratic approaches in day-to-day
practice. Illustrating how pedagogical approaches such as Te
Whariki, Reggio Emilia and the Montessori method may be understood
and interpreted to maximise children's engagement in their
socio-cultural context, chapters empower educators to question
their professional experience, knowledge and initiative to find a
balance between directives and ethical practice. A rich combination
of case studies, commentaries, interviews and conversations, the
text offers critical insight into the daily practices and
challenges of early years educators around the world and inspires
critical reflection on practices which empower them. A powerful
revaluation of the purposes and value of early childhood education,
Empowering Early Childhood Educators will be of interest to early
years practitioners, students and researchers.
