Early Childhood Leadership in Action: Evidence-Based Approaches for Effective Practice, Stamopolous Elizabeth, Barblett Lennie

In this book early childhood researchers Elizabeth Stamopoulos and Lennie Barblett provide a new model for leadership. Recognising that leadership is both an individual and collective endeavour, multi-layered and multidimensional, the authors have distilled core tasks of leadership that are explored in detail in each chapter:
*Understanding and conceptualising theories of leadership
*Leading in times of change
* Advocating for high quality pedagogy and practice
*Developing strong communication skills
* Leading through digital technology and media
* Developing effective teams
* Building positive relationships with families and the wider community
* Embedding Indigenous perspectives
* Embracing evidence-based research
And
* Leading ethical practice.

Featuring the perspectives of leaders from diverse settings, together with reflection exercises and discussion questions throughout, this is an essential book for both pre-service and in-service early childhood educators.
