ullaThe Finnish Work Environment Fund has applied Ulla Soukainen (Ph.D., service maneger in early childhood education in Turku) a scholarship of 5000 euro for the analysis of Orientation project data. The main idea of the analysis is to study leadership relating to the basic tasks of early childhood education. The scholarship makes possible to utilize the large and versatile data collected in relation to leadership. The work of the daycare center director has direct connections with children’s everyday experiences, their perceived skills and learning environment. The scholarship also helps to give the directors better feedback on the found connections. Congratulations to Ulla!
