Description
There is increasing political interest in Australia on early childhood education and care reforms requiring educators to collectively navigate, and translate, policies into practice. This thesis explores how teams of educators interpret policy for curriculum and pedagogy. Provocations and opportunities are presented to strengthen the implementation of reform, offering new insights into ways teams of educators work within the scope of contemporary policy intent. A theoretical lens inspired by Michel Foucault enabled a scrutiny of key policies alongside an analysis of how teams of educators interpret and enact these policies, offering productive ways of thinking and speaking about team decision-making.
