Description
Teaching and Learning in the Early Years provides a comprehensive review of thinking and best practice within nursery and infant education. Written from a child-centred perspective, this text acknowledges that learning should be engaging, fun, and exciting. Recent changes to the Early Years curriculum have informed new chapters on assessment, communication, writing, creativity, and diversity. The book addresses fundamental issues and principles, including research into how children learn, classroom organisation, curriculum management, and assessment. It also explores play and language, as well as individual curriculum areas such as music and PSHE. Practical examples throughout the chapters combine theoretical insights with practical advice for teachers. This text is a valuable resource for those working in the 3-7 age range, including trainee teachers, tutors, mentors, and serving teachers who wish to reflect upon and develop their practice.
