Opis

The early years sector is going through a period of unprecendented change. This has resulted in significant challenges for the early years workforce and it is crucial that settings, teams, leaders and individual practitioners respond to these if they wish to continue to provide the best care and education for young children. This timely text identifies and addresses the key challenges for those working with young children from managing personal and professional change, adapting to new legislation and considering new ways of thinking about children's early learning.

Recenzje

'This is a timely text indeed with all of the unprecedented change in the early years sector at the moment... Anyone working with children from birth to eight- years- old would find this a very helpful supportive text, especially if you are on a Foundation Degree in early years, studying early childhood studies or working towards Early Years Teacher Status.'- Martine Horvarth, EYE Magazine
