Summary:

Aubrey draws from a study at the U. of Warwick (where she teaches early childhood) of early childhood leadership practice in England at a time when young children and their families are a high priority in national debate and high-quality integrated children's services are being planned. She examines new constructs of early childhood leadership to make education, care, and development more effective and surveys the views of about 200 practitioners. They describe the day-to-day roles, responsibilities, and traits of leaders and staff, their culture and collaborative team decision-making, and the internal and external facilitators and barriers to their work; what they do and what their daily tasks are; attitudes towards business and entrepreneurial skills; paths into leadership and development of competence; the role of the leader as a mentor and guide and in multidisciplinary teams; change; and the use of action research. This edition incorporates discussion of the effects of globalization. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
