Provides an accessible yet critical approach to key themes within
the early years, with a focus throughout on reflective practice. It
starts by examining theories and research into the nature of
reflection, how it can be used and how it can improve practice and
produce a more responsive and thoughtful, research-based workforce
for young children and their families. A range of themes, including
global childhood poverty, observation and assessment, leadership,
and multi-professional working, are then explored, highlighting the
importance and application of reflection throughout these areas of
research and practice. This new edition includes two completely new
chapters on reflecting on work-based learning and reflecting on
children's play and creativity. Information on mentoring and on the
position of men in early years higher education has also been
added. Greater depth and challenge is provided through extended
thinking questions and extended reflections at the end of each
chapter.
Poetry. Moving between poems that reveal the curses of one's life
and the blessings that are of equal and mostly of greater value,
BLESSINGS AND CURSES does not shy away from either. With language
that is studied and fluid Anne Whitehouse clearly knows the craft
and what to do to make a poem feel right. This work is satisfying
in both content and the poets craft. "BLESSINGS AND CURSES Is a
candid and powerful work of beautifully observed moments that shed
her visionary light on art, on friendship, on social history, on
nature, on Buddhism, on writers and writing, on memory, on the
fleeting and the eternal, and on God. This is a deeply satisfying
journey through a poet's life and soul, shared with an intimacy
that is both simple and profound"--Gina Browning, author of Roses
of the Heart.
