Description

This is a symposium with two colleagues presented to the BERA conference at Aston University September 2023.

Over the past twenty years, Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) in England has been a focal point for education policy interventions to improve children's outcomes measured through the attainment of a set of prescribed ‘Early Learning Goals’. The three linked papers aim to offer alternative conceptualisations that work to improve children’s outcomes through innovative thinking and practices with a focus on leadership, pedagogy and curriculum, and storymaking. The symposium considers possibilities for new framings beyond the current outcome driven discourses in ECEC towards a more holistic, agentic and democratic way of working with young children.
