The book encourages readers to take a critical stance in relation to a wide range of themes and issues which are reflected in the four parts of the book:
- listening to children
- diversity and transitions
- pedagogy and practice
- leadership and change.
Throughout the book, authors reflect common concerns such as the rights of children, diversity and a more holistic approach to working with young children, and highlight key research in the field.
This is an excellent resource for students with relevant examples and case studies from practice to illustrate key themes and theories. The book supports students to adopt a critical approach to current practice and places the child at the centre of practice.
A very good read adopted by many of my students.
Covers a wide range of very useful topics related to working with young children. Some very thought provoking chapters that will be extremely useful for Masters Level discussion and debate.
A book which draws together differing professional practice strands. Informative and supplemental reading for candidates wishing to expore some of these issues in more detail.
The book will be added to course materials for consideration by the students in their assignments.
An excellent book about professional practice in the early years. The text is easy to follow and covers a wide range of themes.
links well to course
I particularly liked the emphasis on the important topic of the voice of the child in this book.
An excellent text book to compliment professional practice in early education and for those who are updating skills within the field.
The text is easy to follow and the chapters have a wealth of information.
This will be recommended to all students and for references purposes.
