description: “This should be essential reading for anyone involved in the training and professional development of early years practitioners. The book features clear definitions, summary charts, case studies, reading lists and exercises. I particularly liked the stimulating ‘ideas galleries’ with their statements from researchers, policy-makers and practitioners around the world.” Nursery World "sensibly structured and easily assimilated. The blueprint for each chapter is soon each has an introduction and tasks are planned coherently. Themes can be followed through and it is easy to make connections between topics in different chapters. ...This unpretentious book challenges myths about what good teaching is, suggests interpretations of the new learning age and where the myriad of purported support agencies are situated in it."
