Abstract

This systematic review brings together international evidence on professional development and learning (PDL) approaches in Early Years Education (EYE) that demonstrate positive impact on children’s outcomes. The review is pertinent and topical and has a strong and direct connection with the current policy drive to a) improve the skills and knowledge of the early years workforce in order to improve outcomes for children, particularly those most at risk of disadvantage and b) develop system-led self-improvement through evidence-based approaches to PDL. Our intention in conducting this review is to stimulate and contribute to sector-led and sector-wide debate about how best to improve the knowledge and skills of the EYE workforce, particularly in the UK. The review will help the user community i.e. policymakers, setting leaders and EYE professionals, to make informed decisions about the types of PDL approaches that are most effective, and to feel confident that those approaches are underpinned by robust and rigorous research evidence. We propose that the EYE sector seeks to develop a framework for professional learning and development opportunities that take into account quality, impact on children’s outcomes, access and affordability.
