This forward-thinking text challenges educators to think about and question the purpose of education and explores international understandings of the role played by early years professionals in promoting participatory, ethical and reflexive practice which benefits children as independent decision-makers. By exploring the different perspectives, concepts and practices adopted in early childhood settings in Denmark, Finland, Aotearoa, New Zealand and Sweden, Empowering Early Childhood Educators demonstrates the potential of participatory and democratic approaches in day-to-day practice. Illustrating how pedagogical approaches such as Te Whāriki, Reggio Emilia and the Montessori method may be understood and interpreted to maximise children’s engagement in their socio-cultural context, chapters empower educators to question their professional experience, knowledge and initiative to find a balance between directives and ethical practice. A rich combination of case studies, commentaries, interviews and conversations, the text offers critical insight into the daily practices and challenges of early years educators around the world and inspires critical reflection on practices which empower them. A powerful revaluation of the purposes and value of early childhood education, Empowering Early Childhood Educators will be of interest to early years practitioners, students and researchers.

Computers and mobile technologies have become widely adopted as sought-after tools in the field of education. The prevalence of technology in early childhood education (ECE) is increasing, and teachers, both pre-service and in-service, are using best practices to integrate tools effectively to improve teaching and learning within the field. This includes settings such as childcare centers, family childcare, and community programs that have both educators and administrators adapting to the use of technology. Therefore, it has become critical to research and explore the best practices of technology integration and successful strategies to improve the use of technology in ECE. The Handbook of Research on Empowering Early Childhood Educators With Technology examines best practices that focus specifically on those that facilitate the development of competencies in teaching young children (birth to age 8) and technology integration. The chapters include information on the foundations of technology in early childhood education, content-specific technology applications, developmentally appropriate practices (DAP) for learners using technology, and how to meet diverse learner needs with technology. The target audience for this book is early childhood professionals, teacher educators, pre- and in-service teachers in early childhood settings, faculty and researchers in the field of education, instructional technologists, childcare and elementary school administrators, early education policy organizations, and advocacy groups that are interested in the best practices and successful strategies for implementing technology in ECE.

Early childhood education (ECE) programs should be nurturing places for staff members and students alike. Research indicates that how early educators interact and value one another, share instructional strategies, and support one another directly influences student outcomes, job satisfaction, parental involvement, and community support. The author identifies research proven shared norms, values, and behaviors that contribute to an empowering ECE school culture (ESC). She shares best practices (innovation planning, professional development planning, etc.) and transmitters of school (organization) culture (e.g. rituals, ceremonies, stories, language, myths, heroes, and symbols) that empower early educators. Join Althea on a reflective journey of self-discovery and development that will promote personal, professional, and organizational growth and development.

During the past 40 years, the rapid pace and complex nature of social change has created a stress-filled environment for families. New challenges such as AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome), drug abuse, increasing crime, economic malaise, moral deterioration, and increases in mental health problems contribute to the increasing stress in families. Historically, our society has looked to the family and the school to deal with the dynamics of social change. However, families have not received needed support for effectively dealing with these changes, and schools still function within designs more suited to the past than to the present or the future. A new paradigm based on a family-school-community learning and support system is needed. The focus of this book is on strengthening the early childhood educator's position in creating supportive relationships with families, particularly with those who are in at-risk situations. The book's goal is to promote new ways of thinking about and relating to families, with the focus on strengthening families and family-school relationships. The book has five chapters: (1) "At-Risk Families: The Context"; (2) "Empowering At-Risk Families"; (3) "Understanding the Barriers to Empowerment"; (4) "Insights on Relating to the Needs of At-Risk Families"; and (5) "Supporting At-Risk Families." Contains 190 references. (TJQ)
