Question 1: Referring to Appendix 4 in Glenda Mac Naughton, & Patrick Hughes. (2011). Parents and Professionals in Early Childhood Settings. Open University Press, identify the issues and challenges in the Early Childhood settings. Discuss how you would respond to each situation as an Education Leader at the service level and as an Early Childhood Professional outlining the actions you would take and the rationale behind them.

Question 2: Discussion Trigger : Learning from each other

A teacher in a US research project said: 'I have no problem with parents participating in my curriculum decisions as long as I make the final decision. Parents can give their opinion but they may not determine what I do' (AddiRaccah and Arviv-Elyashiv, 2008: 404). At (your organization), we want things to do things differently. We would like parents and staff to be equal partners in children's learning, so please tell us:

• Do you think that staff-parent partnerships around children's learning is a good idea?

• Would you enjoy being in such a partnership?

• What is one thing we could do to foster staff-parent partnerships?
