Leading practice in early years setting

In the UK, achieving Early Years Professional Status requires candidates to demonstrate that they have effectively led the professional practice of their colleagues across the 0-5 age range. This book helps UK Early Years students and experienced practitioners develop the knowledge, skills, and confidence to do just that. It clearly explains the nature of the leadership required, and emphasizes the need for an influencing role in modeling good practice and promoting appropriate values and principles. The book covers: effective ways of leading practice --- how to support colleagues to develop confidence and work towards better outcomes for children --- overcoming practical problems in leading practice --- team working and collaboration.
