Description
Early Years Policy: Understanding its Impact on Practice This book explores how early years policy affects practitioners, children, settings, and families. It examines the changing context and increasing importance of early years policy, looking at issues such as accountability, international influences, and the Early Years Foundation Stage. The text is divided into two parts, with the first part examining theoretical perspectives on early years policy and its impact on practice. The second half directly shows how policy has influenced practice, considering topics such as workforce upskilling, learning environment development, and sustained shared thinking. A fresh perspective on early years policy, this book is essential reading for students on undergraduate and postgraduate Early Years and Childhood Studies courses, as well as those working towards Early Years Teacher status.
