Reviews for Why Do Teachers Need to Know About Child Development?: Strengthening Professional Identity and Well-Being

This is an invaluable and original book edited by two renowned authors in the field of early childhood, Daryl Maisey and Verity Campbell-Barr. The edition focuses on the readers themselves and invites them to adopt a reflexive approach to their practice with young children and families. How do they apply different theories to their practice and draw on shared knowledge and experience? The book is written in collaboration with teachers in the field and includes a range of helpful case studies to contextualise the discussions. Readers are invited to know themselves as people and professionals. How do their individual approaches make a difference to children's development? The book is at once scholarly and accessible, with reference to recent international research and current practice in different contexts. This is a quality, unique edition emanating from a strong, European early childhood heritage like no other, the hallmarks of which are scholarship, social justice and compassion * Sarah Cousins, Associate Professor, Early Years and Social Studies, University of Warwick, UK *
