Developing Professional Practice in the Early Years encourages the
reader to critically consider key aspects of early childhood
education and care. The book is a valuable and accessible tool for
those on professional pathways to Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or
Early Years Teacher Status (EYTS) or those engaged in Early
Childhood Studies programmes or similar degree programmes courses
relating to early years practice. This book will also be of
interest to those engaged in continuous professional development
(CPD) programmes. The book recognises the important contribution
that early years education and care can make to children's future
outcomes. It can be read in-depth or dipped into when need arises.
Each chapter will help the reader to engage with challenging
concepts and ideas which underpin early childhood policy and
practice. Strong practical elements to the book aim to support the
application of learning to high quality practice with young
children. The generic term 'early childhood professional' is used
throughout the book to encompass the diversity of roles within
early childhood practice. The book aims to support the reader to
critically consider the complexity of 'being professional' in
contemporary early childhood practice by providing a strong
theoretical and practice-based framework of the role and context of
the early childhood professional. Key features of the book include:
* Reflective tasks to support critical thinking about key aspects
of professional practice * Case studies to enable the reader to
learn from stories and situations about real professionals and
their practice * Positive Practice Impact (PPI) boxes to provide
specific examples of good professional practice in early childhood.
Each chapter of this essential text concludes by signposting
further reading - book chapters, journal articles, websites - to
build greater depth of knowledge and extend the reader's
understanding of early childhood theory and practice.
