Bloomsbury Knowledge and Understanding of the World (Supporting Development in the Early Years Foundation Stage)

Product Description Knowledge and Understanding of the World introduces this area of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). Teaching knowledge and understanding of the world to children aged between 0-5 years is introduced within the context of the EYFS. A balanced approach to the Early Learning Goals is encouraged ensuring that key principles of good early years practice are maintained and developed, and the holistic development of the child is promoted. This user-friendly guide will support early years professionals to:• reflect on current practice and develop skills; • evaluate the implications of research for early years practice and provision; • promote interdisciplinary teamwork between those who work with and support young children;• meet the diverse needs of children at different developmental stages and ages; • support children as they move within and beyond the EYFS. Review 'Case studies and reflective tasks in this user-friendly guide will help early years practitioners to reflect on their own practise, consider the theories and research that support effective practice and enable them to identify how they can, and why they should, aim to improve their practice.' --Sanford LakoffNormal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 ! /* Style Definitions */ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {mso-style-parent: ""; margin:0cm; margin-bottom: .0001pt; mso-pagination: widow-orphan; font-size:12.0pt; font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";} @page Section1 {size:612.0pt 792.0pt; margin:72.0pt 90.0pt 72.0pt 90.0pt; mso-header-margin:36.0pt; mso-footer-margin:36.0pt; mso-paper-source:0;} div.Section1 {page: Section1;} > /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name: "Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow: yes; mso-style-parent: ""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom: .0001pt; mso-pagination: widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-ansi-language: #0400; mso-fareast-language: #0400; mso-bidi-language: #0400;} 'A very useful introduction to working with the early years child, providing a holistic overviews of the curriculum areas and Early Learning Goals applicable world wide but based on those of England...invaluable for those beginning to discover about young children's conceptual, language and skills development as well as a refreshing text for practitioners who want to read about latest findings and those refreshing themselves on current practice and provision.'
