This fully revised edition of Early Years Practice: Getting It
Right from the Start integrates theory and practice and expands on
the topics of early childhood practice as located within the
context of international curriculum frameworks including Aistear,
the Irish framework. With two new chapters it introduces readers to
the complexities and possibilities of a play-based pedagogy and the
importance of pedagogical leadership. Drawing on recent
international scholarship the book pays particular attention to
role of outdoor play and learning and the impact of digital
technologies. It considers how best to manage the competing
demands, challenges and tensions that affect the daily experiences
of educators and children in contemporary society. This new edition
also revises the original text with expanded references on topics
such as the ecology of early childhood settings, education for
sustainability, developmental psychology, education and
neuroscience. This timely text also reviews international
literature from both research and practice, strengthens
understandings of the key role of relationships to quality practice
and the effects on the development and learning of young children.
All the chapters provide specific examples of good practice with
strategies and suggestions aimed at enhancing the overall
experience of early childhood settings for both educators and
children. The information collected and explored in the book can be
used by lecturers and educators alike to stimulate conversation,
guide reflection and support the profession of early childhood
educators to collectively work towards achieving, supporting and
sustaining high quality early years practice that adds
constructively the lives of babies and young children.
