With the rapid change experienced by the Early Years Workforce over recent times, this book considers what constitutes professionalization in the sector, and what this means in practice.

Recenzii

'It is refreshing to find a book that reflects the upsurge in interest in professionalism in early childhood. Not only does it celebrate the real professionalism displayed by so many practitioners it also critiques the term as used by governments. The insights provided by the different authors adds up to a fascinating volume which should form the basis for academic debate. I look forward to using it with my Early Childhood students' -
