Do you need good leaders to achieve good quality or does good
quality create good leadership? Quality is a term frequently used
to describe early years provision without any further explanation
of exactly what this 'quality provision' looks like or how it can
be achieved. This book not only unpicks what is meant by the term
'quality' in England, across the UK, and beyond, but it does so in
the context of how to lead in order to develop and achieve quality.
In exploring quality and leadership and the ways in which both
terms have been conceptualised from a range of different
perspectives you will be able to find a meaning that is right for
you and your practice. With chapters covering: * The global
interest in quality * The broad nature of early childhood
leadership * Reflective evaluation and practice This book will be
of interest to setting and room leaders across the early years as
well as students studying early childhood or in early years teacher
training.
For students of Early Childhood Studies, questions are as important
as answers. What is childhood? Is childhood the same in all
cultures? How do children grow and develop? What space do we make
for children in our society? How do adults approach risk and what
does this mean for children? Can children's play be planned by
adults? Early Childhood Studies tackles these questions and more.
It explores the why, how and what of studying and working with
young children and their families, considering how a range of
theories can help us to identify useful questions. This is a
comprehensive, up-to-date, challenging and accessible core text for
the Early Childhood Studies course. Throughout, key theories and
research findings are highlighted and explored to help link theory
and practice. It covers the important themes of child development,
communication, wellbeing, observation, working with parents,
inclusive practice, leadership and research. This fourth edition
has been fully updated throughout and includes new chapters on
children and risk, inclusive learning environments, play and
adults' concepts of childhood.
