Description
Starting from the Child? by Julie Fisher is a thought-provoking exploration of the challenges facing early years practice in the face of increasing pressures from inspection, assessment and government reforms. The author argues that, despite these pressures, it is still possible to plan a curriculum and pedagogy that prioritises the needs of the young child.
With a focus on practical, principled and realistic approaches, Fisher demonstrates the importance of keeping the child at the centre of good early years practice. This fifth edition of the book reintroduces the question mark in its title, reflecting the ongoing need for a nuanced and evidence-based approach to early years education.
Written in a highly accessible and engaging style, Starting from the Child? offers valuable insights and guidance for anyone involved in early years education, from practitioners and policymakers to researchers and students.
