Opis

The Practical Guidance in the Early Years Foundation Stage series will assist practitioners in the smooth and successful implementation of the Early Years Foundation Stage. Each book gives clear and detailed explanations of each aspect of Learning and Development and encourages readers to consider each area within its broadest context to expand and develop their own knowledge and good practice. Practical ideas and activities for all age groups are offered along with a wealth of expertise of how elements from the practice guidance can be implemented within all early years settings. The books include suggestions for the innovative use of everyday ressources, popular books and stories. Using the clear and accessible material in this book practitioners will be guided through the process of helping children develop an understanding of themselves; to help them gain independence and to become excited and motivated about their learning. Practical examples and ideas are linked to the Practice Guidance to ensure that practitioners feel confident in their ability to support and develop children's emotional well-being and social skills as well as develop their own knowledge and understanding of this important aspect of the EYFS.

Successful personal, social and emotional development is fundamental to children's learning and development with regard to self-esteem, confidence, building relationships and being part of a community.  Personal, Social and Emotional Development in the Early Years Foundation Stage covers all relevant aspects, including developing positive ideas, being acknowledged and affirmed, developing coping strategies, and the expression of feelings, making links to the Early Learning goals as appropriate.

We know that practitioners responsible for the nurturing of young children in their settings are conscientious, but busy people.  We also know that students need clear accessible material to help them further their learning.  This book will both challenge thinking and provide practical support for the personal, social and emotional development of young children in all early years settings.

This highly practical series links fully and comfortably to the Early Years Foundation Stage  making the implementation of the practice guidance within your setting easy. Each book provides a theoretical background on which  good practice is based, helping practitioners provide children with a relevant, age appropriate, exciting and challenging curriculum in each area of learning.  Each book includes:

• Easy to implement practical ideas across all age groups
• Suggestions for innovative use of everyday resources and/or popular books and stories
• How to consider each area of learning within its broadest context.

The series is complemented by a planning book providing clear ideas on how to plan and deliver cross-curriculum activities throughout the EYFS, and how to use observation and assessment in a positive way to inform practice.
