It is well established that investment in good quality early childhood education yields the best outcomes for children, and that there is significant correlation between quality early childhood learning environments and qualified teachers. As such, this book offers key insights into academic approaches to the design, implementation and assessment of early childhood teacher programs, and how these programs are shaped in response to requirements and constraints, both within the university context and beyond. This book provides a focus to inform future practice for decision-makers of early childhood teacher policy; researchers interested in improving the quality and status of early childhood education; and assessors of early childhood teacher programs. 000938237 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000938237 650_0 $$aEarly childhood education$$zAustralia. 000938237 650_0 $$aEarly childhood education$$zEurope, Northern. 000938237 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aBoyd, Wendy$$tAustralian Early Childhood Teaching Programs : Perspectives and Comparisons to Finland, Norway and Sweden$$dSingapore : Springer Singapore Pte.
