Everyone who works with children is a teacher and a leader. Written for early childhood teachers at all levels, Learning to Lead combines accessible leadership theory and practice with important topics and issues such as human development, diversity, anti-bias, work with families, and social change. Each chapter is built around a combination of theories, examples, and reflection questions—all designed to prompt self-evaluation and personal leadership development.
