Book Synopsis Early Childhood Education and Care Quality in Europe and the USA by : Konstantina Rentzou
Download or read book Early Childhood Education and Care Quality in Europe and the USA written by Konstantina Rentzou and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-05-21 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book captures information about early childhood education and care (ECEC) policies and practices in different countries and aims to question the degree to which these countries have managed to meet the needs of children, families, and the ECEC workforce. The book illustrates how different countries have adapted different strategies focusing on policy when it comes to quality ECEC. The goal of the book is twofold. First and foremost, it aims to present key findings and challenges for improving ECEC as a whole. Second, it aims to highlight problems and concerns which the field of ECEC faces, with respect to delivering high-quality care and education to all children. As neither “ECEC” nor “quality” are universal concepts – but are shaped by social-cultural values, as well as national, economic, and political contexts in which ECEC services are provided – this cross-country volume is extremely relevant for fully understanding issues in the field of ECEC. This book was originally published as a special issue of Early Child Development and Care.

Book Synopsis Early Childhood Policies and Systems in Eight Countries by : Tony Bertram
Download or read book Early Childhood Policies and Systems in Eight Countries written by Tony Bertram and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-07-29 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report provides an overview of policy strategies on early childhood education settings (from birth to primary schooling) in eight countries. Data were collected using a policy questionnaire addressed to and completed by the National Research Coordinator(s) (NRC) of Chile, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Italy, Poland, the Russian Federation and the United States. The countries that participated provide interesting illustrations of early childhood education policy in action in a range of diverse contexts. Analysis of the systemic and structural results of ECE policy at national and, where necessary, subnational levels, enables transnational comparisons in policy and systems. Key policy changes, both underway and planned, are documented. These data reveal key findings in each of the five policy areas as covered in the questionnaire and this report: public policy; delivery models and providers; participation and enrollment; quality assurance systems; and expectations for child outcomes. In particular, the study aims to provide meaningful information for countries, states and jurisdictions across the world in relation to early childhood education, mapping the systems, structures and user pathways in place, along with the perceptions of stakeholders about the system, its functioning and impact. This comprehensive assessment of the wider policy contexts and settings for early childhood education includes teacher/practitioner qualifications, pedagogy approaches, and opportunities for professional development. Such information will enable countries to review their early childhood education systems in an international context.

Book excerpt: L’educazione e cura della prima infanzia è sempre più considerata la fase del ciclo educativo che getta le basi per l’apprendimento permanente e per lo sviluppo della persona. La pubblicazione registra i progressi fatti dai paesi europei nelle aree qualitative chiave identificate dalla Raccomandazione del Consiglio relativa ai sistemi di educazione e cura di alta qualità della prima infanzia del 22 maggio 2019, e fornisce ai decisori politici, ai ricercatori e alle famiglie un rapido accesso ai dati comparativi internazionali e una grande quantità di esempi di politiche nazionali. La prima parte del rapporto mostra indicatori sulle aree chiave di qualità relative alla gestione, all’accesso, al personale, alle linee guida educative, così come alla valutazione e al monitoraggio. Il rapporto analizza in modo trasversale queste aree con un approccio centrato sul bambino e con una attenzione speciale alla correlazione fra le politiche attuate nelle diverse aree. L’importanza dell’inclusività nell’educazione è un altro elemento che viene considerato come parametro di alta qualità dell’ECEC in quanto è fondamentale per aumentare l’equità e l’uguaglianza della società. La seconda parte mostra il quadro nazionale con schede specifiche che evidenziano gli aspetti principali di ogni sistema di educazione e cura della prima infanzia, inclusi i diagrammi delle relative strutture. Lo studio copre un campo molto vasto, in quanto comprende non solo l’offerta presso delle strutture, ma anche i servizi domiciliari regolamentati nei settori pubblico e privato in 38 paesi europei (43 sistemi educativi) che partecipano al programma dell’Unione europea Erasmus+: i 28 Stati membri dell’Unione europea, più Albania, Bosnia Erzegovina, Svizzera, Islanda, Liechtenstein, Montenegro, Macedonia del Nord, Norvegia, Serbia and Turchia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Partnership with Parents in Early Childhood Settings examines how practitioners can work effectively with parents and families, acknowledging the complex nature of these relationships. Drawing on policy, research and practice from kindergartens and early years settings in five European countries, it provides insight into how political, social and cultural contexts affect the relationships between educators and families and the impact this has on children’s early experiences. The book is based upon learning from an Erasmus mobility project between educators from five countries in OMEP (the World Organisation for Early Childhood Education). It presents examples from practice and research from the different countries and highlights some positive and practical ways in which professionals can work with parents, as well as potential barriers to parental partnership and how these might be overcome. Each section focuses on a different country and allows for a detailed exploration into how relationships are developed and sustained for the benefit of young children and their families in different places. Throughout, the reader is encouraged to reflect on their current understanding of parental partnership and how they can plan for positive parental partnership working in the future. This thought-provoking text will be an indispensable resource for students of early childhood and teachers and practitioners, as well as academics and those with an interest in early years social and educational policy.
