How should children feel about themselves and their learning? How
do I know what children have learnt and how can I move them on? How
can I ensure that resources are available for children to use
actively and independently? In today's busy setting an
understanding of child development sometimes gets overlooked, yet
it lies at the heart of effective practice. Child Development in
Practice provides an approachable, user-friendly base from which to
plan ways of working with children that are developmentally
appropriate and will enable them to learn enjoyably and
effectively. Drawing on recent research, the book thoughtfully
discusses sound principles of child development alongside
descriptions of every day practice. It then offers practical advice
on how to fully utilise the key areas in an early years setting,
including the creative area, books and stories and the outside, and
shows how to plan and implement integrated topics where teaching is
cross-curricular and holistic. Throughout, a series of key
questions are presented to encourage practitioners to reflect on
why they are teaching in certain ways and increase their
understanding of children's developmental needs. Directly linking
theory and practice, this book aims to give students and
practitioners the knowledge and confidence they need to help
children become active, interactive and independent learners.
