Advocacy is advancing the value, needs and interests of an individual or group within existing frames of reference Advocacy leadership : These leaders are passionate about quality early childhood education, the rights of children and upholding social justice principles in their practice. These leaders draw public attention to concerns about equity, safety and well-being impacting on young children and their families, and those working in the sector. According to keiff, advocates are people who stand up for, speak for, and work to enhance the lives of others who are not able— or yet able— to speak for themselves.

Scene 5

Activism is questioning assumptions and discourses on which policy and practice are based and promoting through action how these might be implemented outside existing frames of reference. To do this, activists focus on the politics or power relations embedded in a problem; that is, the agendas, interests and discourses that shape how it is presented

Intentional leaders with a commitment to children’s rights and social justice can engage in advocacy and activism from a deficit and strengths-based perspective, and at personal, centre, community and systems levels.

Scene 7

Image of teacher as an activist or advocate.

Early childhood professionals have an ethical obligation to promote shared aspirations amongst communities in order to enhance children’s health and wellbeing, advocate for the development and implementation of laws and policies that promote child-friendly communities, and to utilise knowledge and research to advocate for universal access to a range of high-quality early childhood programs for all children. Early childhood professionals have an ethical obligation to be advocates for children and families by virtue of their role. It is important to understand the effect of advocacy and public policy on the lives of children. (Gibbs, 2003, p.9) A teacher can who speaks for children and communicate with their parents perform a role of advocate in early childhood setting. On the other and the teacher who tries to bring changes in life of children and taking proper action for positive changes even politically also perform role of activist in early childhood setting.
