A thought-provoking and stimulating study of the moral dimensions of the teaching professions

This title opens up debate about the meaning of professionalism in the early childhood context. It draws together the work of an international group of scholars who ask if professionalism can be conceptualised in diverse and changing early childhood settings.

This book enhances our understanding of the links between professions, the state and the market - and their implications for the public in terms of professional practice. This will be of interest to scholars, researchers and students of Management, Public Policy and Health Care Management.
