Including narratives of practice across diverse Australian
settings, Engaging with Educational Change fills a gap in the
current educational change literature. Building on the experience
of the authors and their colleagues, this book illustrates the
power of practitioner inquiry to facilitate positive,
practice-improving change and suggests how others might use this
methodology to extend current thinking and evaluation. The book
includes the voices of practitioners and academics working with a
diverse range of age groups and settings across public and private
educational contexts, including primary schools, preschools and
childcare centres. This multi-perspective real research helps
inform and inspire people from a range of backgrounds and expertise
who want to facilitate practitioner inquiry initiatives themselves.
The book begins by introducing practitioner inquiry, exploring the
principles of inquiry-based practice and issues of data alongside
the landscapes of educational change. Chapters in part two then
offer real-life case studies highlighting experiences of using
practitioner inquiry or supporting those working with these methods
to improve educational practice and ultimately the outcomes for
children. The chapters include case studies of pedagogical
leadership and the exploration of issues related to sustaining
educational change. The final section concludes the book by
critically reflecting upon practitioner inquiry and providing
guidance for those interested in this change methodology.
Investigating issues that arise during implementation of
practitioner inquiry initiatives, Engaging with Educational Change
provides both critique and assistance for students and
practitioners applying the process in their own settings.

The early years of life are fast gaining prominence around the
world. It is well documented that investment in early childhood
results in exceptionally high returns in multiple arenas; greater
than those resulting from enterprise focused on later periods in
people's lives. This book presents current early years research
that reflects the transdisciplinary nature of childhood. The first
in the Children and Childhoods series, this volume examines
multiple perspectives, places and practices that constitute early
childhood. The many facets of how children and childhoods are seen,
where they are enacted and how they are played out are explained
through explorations of playgrounds, hospitals, museums, child care
centres and other locations. Similarly diverse are the
methodologies that underpin these investigations. Children,
practitioners, families and researchers all contribute to this
cornucopia of children and childhoods.
