Sommario/riassunto

Transforming Early Childhood in England: Towards a Democratic Education offers a critique of the current system of early childhood care and education in England, and proposes policy change to enable young children's universal right to education. Combining criticism and hope, the book calls for democratic provision, where all learning by all children is recognised, educators are respected, and pedagogy is shaped by young children's learning.

Sommario/riassunto

This book features novice teachers and how they were, or were not, mentored or inducted by schools. Using data collected over a three-year period, the cases inform school principals and district-level administrators of situations promoting or hindering new teacher growth, in order to lower attrition rates and foster student achievement.
