Leadership and children’s experiences

Taru Terho studied leadership in day care centres and its connection with children’s everyday activities in the setting. The main finding has been that the directors’ views and ways to conduct pedagogical leadership was connected with children’s everyday activities. Leadership was not just about management or staff leadership, it had connections with children’s experiences. The connections were measured by totally independent measures of observation and directors’ evaluations, which increase the reliability of the findings. For example, good leadership was connected with good quality play in the day care centre. Unfortunately, only Taru’s abstract is in English.
