The early years of care and learning are increasingly recognised as crucial for ongoing educational success and future participation in society. It is paramount that early childhood professionals participate in specialist preparation to understand and effectively support early years learners.
Teaching Early Years offers a comprehensive, research-based introduction to educating children from birth to eight years. Leading educators provide insights into the contextual factors; curriculum, pedagogical and assessment practices; and the key priorities for everyone involved in care and education in the early years. Each chapter concludes with questions that guide reflection of the concepts developed in the chapter.
Written for early childhood education students, child-care workers, and education leaders, Teaching Early Years is an essential resource for anyone involved in caring for and educating early years learners.
