Opis

This accessible and practical book provides practitioners with a tool-kit for observing and assessing children's play through a unique Social Play Continuum, developed by the author over the course of a decade working in early years classrooms. The author also provides a framework for reflection on and the development of traditional areas of provision across the 3-7 age range, and will help the practitioner acquire an enhanced understanding of the links between intellectual development, the growth of language and the emotional well being of young children.

Recenzje

'Pat Broadhead writes with a wisdom drawn from many years of teaching and research with young children and practitioners in English primary schools ... Practitioners on professional development programmes will certainly find that this book offers an accessible route into developing reflective, research-based approaches within practice. And for this achievement it is to be recommended and lauded.' - Susan Young, International Journal of Early Years Education
