'…a major contribution to the limited literature and research on leadership in childhood education' -
Professor Tony Bush, Editor of Educational Management, Administration and Leadership
vital book for students to understand the theory and practice of leading and managing in the early years
This is another great title that specifically focuses on early years. It is both clearly structured and well written. The text is very accessible.
Gives a grounded and realistic overview of leadership in the Early Years
Useful book for 3 year undergraduate early years students
This text will be used with third year early years students
This is an essential part of the reading list for any leadership modules. Aubrey creates a step by step process of what it takes to develop effective leadership skills. The layout enables students to dip in and out to support their own professional development and academic writing skills. I am a particular fan of how she includes the reflection-in-action chapter which is an excellent support for foundation degree students.
Relevant and useful text to support practioners in developing Leadership and Management skills.
An informative book giving a well-balanced and realistic view of leadership within the Early Years.
A really interesting and useful text that is easy to read, Very suitable for undergraduates with limited experience of leading and managing others.
An excellent book to study the roles of early childhood leaders and the characteristics of different models of leadership in early childhood.
Particularly liked the practitioner's views throughout the text. Ideal reference text as easy to dip in and out of.
This book supports those learners who are ready to take the next steps from working in a setting to a more senior leadership and management role. It is recommended reading for the Foundation Degree students in their second year.
The book provide practical exercises and reflection opportunities to support students' learning. It matches one of the module specification for our programme
Good focus on reflection. Good chapter on leading through a period of change - essential in Early Years
Found this book great for supervision and management teaching in the early years
very clear and analytical text which explores many of the current and relevant isssues in leading and managing in early years- particularly in multi agency contexts.
Provides a valuable focus on evidence and feedback from leaders of integrated centres. I found the chapters on leading in a time of change and reflective practice and action learning particularly useful and relevant to the issues facing today's leaders. The book is clearly written and provides an excellent theoretical basis to debates around developments in integrated services.
A chance for graduate leaders to get to grips with the key themes od leading and managing in the Early Years. Should form part of the graduate leaders library.
Good general information about managing and leading in early years - nothing specifically for playworkers so would only suggest as supplemental copy.
