With the rapid change experienced by the Early Years Workforce over recent times, this book considers what constitutes professionalization in the sector, and what this means in practice. Bringing a critical perspective to the developing knowledge and understanding of early years practitioners at various stages of their professional development, it draws attention to key themes and issues.

Chapters are written by leading authorities, and provide case studies, question and discussion points to facilitate critical thinking.

Topics covered include:

- constructions of professional identities

- men in the early years

- multi-disciplinary working in the early years

- professionalization in the nursery

- early childhood leadership and policy

Written in an accessible style and relevant to all levels of early years courses, the book is highly relevant to those studying at Masters level, and has staggered levels of Further Reading, that encourage reflection and progression.

′It is refreshing to find a book that reflects the upsurge in interest in professionalism in early childhood. Not only does it celebrate the real professionalism displayed by so many practitioners it also critiques the term as used by governments. The insights provided by the different authors adds up to a fascinating volume which should form the basis for academic debate. I look forward to using it with my Early Childhood students′ - Elizabeth Coates, Associate Professor, Director: Early Childhood Studies Undergraduate Programme, University of Warwick
