Early Years Update, March 2012"
Reflective practice is a vital aspect of working with young
children and enables a deeper understanding of their learning and
development. There is a long tradition among early childhood
practitioners of closely observing children's learning, so as to
nurture and stimulate their development. They are also increasingly
expected to reflect on their own practice in a variety of ways, in
order to enhance their professional development and improve their
practice.
This book supports early years' practitioners in articulating
and understanding their own practice in greater depth, exploring
ways in which they can be encouraged to engage in reflecting on
their practice.
The authors introduce ideas around creativity, inclusion,
children's well being, partnership with parents and
multidisciplinary team working, which will enable you to develop
and explore the role of the early years' practitioner in further
detail. This second edition is refreshed and expanded to include:
Updated and revised throughout to reflect latest policy changes and
documents The role of the early years professional Reference to
Children's Plan and Common Core of Skills and Knowledge for
Children's Work Force New reflective questions and extended case
studies Reference to safeguarding and child protection through
joint-working
"Developing Reflective Practice in the Early Years, second
edition," is essential reading for all early years' practitioners
working in early years settings for children aged 0-8 years,
including nurseries, children's centres and schools.
