Waniganayake, M., Rodd, J. & Gibbs, L. (Eds.). (2015). Thinking and Learning about Leadership: Early childhood research from Australia, Finland and Norway. Research Monograph #2. Sydney: Community Child Care Cooperative NSW.
This Research Monograph brings together recent work of 20 early childhood leadership researchers from Australia, Finland and Norway. It represents a unique cross-cultural collaboration between researchers from three countries. These chapters reflect their interests in advancing the knowledge base of early childhood leadership with a view to enhancing practice, pedagogy and policy. The Foreword written by Professor Hujala presents this background in more detail.
This publication was made possible through the close collaboration between Macquarie University and the Community Child Care Cooperative (CCCC) located in the State of New South Wales in Australia. CCCC is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to serving children, families, management and staff working in early childhood settings. Today, CCCC has a new name as Community Early Learning Australia (CELA). Our sincere thanks to CELA for enabling us to provide free access to single chapters through the ILRF website.
