This essential collection presents a diverse range of perspectives on mentoring in Early Learning and Care from academic and applied viewpoints, challenging traditional approaches and providing a rich exploration of mentoring from both theoretical and practical angles. Drawing from the perspectives of critical inquiry, Reggio Emilia, Indigenous worldviews, feminist and posthumanist theories, and more, this book explores how mentoring can be reimagined to support policymaking, educator training, recruitment and retention, and professional development. With contributions from leading scholars, practitioners, and advocacy groups, the book presents insights to re-orient mentoring at every stage of an educator's career—whether pre-service, in-service, or retirement. Essential reading for Early Childhood Education faculty, administrators, pedagogical leaders, researchers, and those involved in workforce development, this book offers the knowledge and inspiration needed to re-story mentoring as a vital force for progress in the field.
