Understanding the… Approach

Understanding the … Approach is new series providing a much needed source of information for those wishing to extend and consolidate their understanding of international approaches to early years education and childcare. The books will enable the reader to analyse the essential elements of each approach and its relationship to quality early years practice.

Each book:

• Describes the key principles of the approach to early childhood with practical examples and case studies;
• Provides students and practitioners with the relevant information about a key pedagogical influence on high quality early years practice;
• Highlights the key ideas that practitioners should consider when reviewing and reflecting on their own practice;
• Can be used as the basis for continuing professional development and action research.

Written to support the work of all those in the field of early years education and childcare, these will be invaluable texts for students, early years and childcare practitioners, teachers, early years professionals, children’s centre professionals, lecturers, advisory teachers, head teachers and setting managers.
