The Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Workforce in Early Childhood Education: Findings From a National Survey of Australian Centre‐Based Services
Culturally responsive early childhood education (ECE) environments can increase child and family participation, enhance service quality, and improve developmental outcomes for children. Educators from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds contribute to inclusive ECE and are crucial for addressing workforce shortages. The National Children's Education and Care Workforce Strategy (2022–2031) (ACECQA, 2021) promotes workforce dive…
(Re)conceptualising Children’s Rights in Infant-Toddler Care and Education: Transnational Conversations
This book brings together researchers from a variety of national contexts to provide insights into transnational perspectives on infant and toddler rights
Innovative Methods for Researching Leadership Emergence
There is a growing understanding, internationally, that effective leadership has an influence on the quality of early childhood education programs. The leadership research agenda has expanded accordingly but despite this expansion there is little empirical research on the emergence and development of leadership in early childhood education. The article focuses primarily on the methodological challenge of studying the phenomena of emerging and dev…
An encounter with ‘sayings’ of curriculum: Levinas and the formalisation of infants’ learning
Increased global attention to early childhood education and care in the past two decades has intensified attention on the education of infants and assessment of their learning in education policy. This interest is particularly evident in the focus upon infants in the early childhood curriculum frameworks developed in recent years in many countries. To date, there has been little examination of implications of this policy/curriculum emphasis in re…
Integrated services in Australian early childhood education and care: What can we learn from our past
Recent Australian interest in the integration of early childhood services is largely informed by international research and policy developments, particularly from the United Kingdom. Service integration is widely recognised as an effective means of holistically meeting the needs of children and families and ameliorating disadvantage. What is less well known is that Australia has a history of integrated early childhood services. This paper focuses…
The (In)visibility of Children with Communication Impairment in Australian Health, Education, and Disability Legislation and Policies
Communication impairment is a prevalent childhood disability. The way nations formally recognise communication impairment effects the provision of services and long-term outcomes of these children. Children with communication impairment are specifically identified in legislation and policy in the USA and UK; however this is not the case in Australia. Current Australian legislation and policy does not adequately address the needs of children with …
(Re)Positioning the Child in the Policy/Politics of Early Childhood
How a community constructs the notion of childhood and the child is fundamentally implicated in the practices and policies of that community. This article explores the positioning of the child in historical, contemporary and emerging trends in the provision and practices of Australian early childhood education and care. It argues that if left uncontested, emerging contemporary constructions have the potential to normalise policies, practices and …
