Early Childhood
A Guide for Students
- Tina Bruce - Honorary Visiting Professor at University of Roehampton
Written and edited by experts in the field, the book clearly explains theory through illustrations of good practice, with case studies, reflective exercises and suggestions for further reading. Additional case studies and reflective questions for student or lecturer's use can be found on the SAGE website.
Each chapter has been revised with an emphasis on encouraging reflective practice and there are new chapters on:
- personal, social, and emotional development
- EYPS
- health and safeguarding children
This brand new edition has also been updated in light of the new Early Years Foundation Stage, and addresses the needs of students working towards Early Years Professional Status (EYPS).
This is an excellent book covering a wide range of topics in a readable and accessible way. I am particularly interested in the research chapters as an aid to encouraging practitoners to engage in research.
Excellent, absolutely bursting with activities and exercises to promote and encourage reflective practice for today's early years pedagogues.
We have used the previous edition for both QTS4 and BA(Hons), and will continue to use this essential text
Useful addition to this module and Practice in Early Years Settings (ED2035)
