It reports on the Early Change project, a European-funded research project with the participation of six European countries: Cyprus, Denmark, Finland, Greece, Portugal, and Romania; and offers an in-depth view on the perspectives of early childhood teachers regarding their professional development and the quality of early childhood education environment. Additionally, it discusses the policies and educational framework supporting the professional development of early childhood teachers across Europe. Finally, it proposes an alternative way to integrate the use of observational rating scales of early childhood education environments’ quality in teachers’ professional development. Presenting up-to-date scholarly research on global trends, this is an easily accessible, practical, yet scholarly source of information for researchers, policy makers and practitioners."--$$cProvided by publisher. 000823473 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (viewed September 12, 2017). 000823473 650_0 $$aEarly childhood education$$zEurope$$xEvaluation. 000823473 650_0 $$aEarly childhood educators$$xTraining of$$zEurope. 000823473 7001_ $$aGregoriadis, Athanasios,$$eeditor. 000823473 7001_ $$aGrammatikopoulos, Vasilis,$$eeditor. 000823473 7001_ $$aZachopoulou, Evridiki,$$eeditor. 000823473 77608 $$iPrint version: $$z3319642111$$z9783319642116$$w(OCoLC)992785001 000823473 830_0 $$aPalgrave pivot. 000823473 852__ $$bebk 000823473 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-64212-3$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000823473 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:823473$$pGLOBAL_SET 000823473 980__ $$aEBOOK 000823473 980__ $$aBIB 000823473 982__ $$aEbook 000823473 983__ $$aOnline 000823473 994__ $$a92$$bISE
