This exciting book brings a new dimension to the study of leading quality services in the mixed economy of early years. It addresses how post-structuralism supports understanding of quality leadership, especially where there are external accountability structures. The reader is supported in deconstructing what is meant by quality, who defines it and enabled to consider alternative perspectives.
This book puts leadership in the context of Early Years and examines some of the current complexities within the sector.
A useful source to use with Early Years students when considering the role of a leader and manager . the discussions and case studies around quality will be used with our Year 3 undergraduate students.
An excellent book, simple for students to use to comprehend the intricacies of leadership in the early years
This is a different style of leadership book that explores the need for quality leadership and the implications for practice. This is not a sector where the differences between management and leadership are easily identifiable and the authors discuss this issue within the book.
Very readable and current. Particularly helpful exploring issues related to leadership and management of EYs settings.
This book is essential for quality in early years.
This book offers some really strong links with the Early Years practitioner role to being professional. The chapters are linked to pertinent reading, throughout, whilst always ensuring practice is part of its content. It goes beyond the national level and offers a global perspective on the professional quality of working with children, which is so very important in today's global world. I certainly would like my students to pick up this text and work with it.
A strong text which updates readers on the current landscape for ECEC leadership. The authors are knowledgeable and have added relevant theorizations to ECEC professional practice. I will use this book for the module I teach on leadership in the EY.
This is such a useful text as knowledge about this topic is developing and increasingly on degree programmes. It discusses research, theory and practice which makes it interesting and a worthwhile read.
Great book with many new angles to consider, My colleagues have been borrowing it for their courses as well!
A useful book to engage students in thinking about and engaging in debate about quality and leadership within the early years setting but which can also translate to other contexts of childhood.
An excellent text to support engagement with the complexities of leadership
