This work sets out to explore some of the wider issues that need to be considered when working with primary-age children and how these can be woven into the broad framework of teaching and the teacher's own learning. Examples of classroom practice help to illustrate the different aspects of teaching: what it is to be an effective and competent teacher; classroom processes such as planning, observation and asessment; the variety of ways in which children learn and develop thinking and skills; social interactions and support networks; equal opportunities; and "in loco parentis" responsibilities.

An exploration of how play aids learning The second edition of this bestselling book discusses the vital importance of play as a tool for learning and teaching. It has been extensively revised to cover the many changes that have taken place in the field of early childhood in the last decade.

Effective Leadership and Management in the Early Years

'"Effective Leadership and Management in the Early Years" ...is the best analysis of leadership and management that I have come across. It is a highly practical tool and a resource that will enable early years practitioners at different stages of professional development to explore, understand, rate and develop their leadership and management expertise.' - Jillian Rodd, Educational and Developmental Psychologist. There has recently been an unprecedented focus on early years care and education, particularly on the impact of the various adults who work and play with children in the birth to five/six-years age range. Staff in early years settings have had to adapt to many changes and demands, locally and nationally, from local authorities and national government, and none more so than those who suddenly find themselves in a leadership and management role in increasingly complex small early years businesses and settings, often without formal training or qualifications. The book is unique in providing not only a thorough analysis of the leader and manager's role and presenting it as a typology, but also in offering a clear and in-depth view of that role. It also presents ways in which the leader and manager can undertake self-evaluation or work alongside a peer to understand their own strengths and challenges more readily. The book conceptualises effective leadership and management as a tree, with the four key 'branches' of effective leadership and management defined as: Leaderships Qualities, Management Skills, Professional Attributes, and Personal Characteristics and Attitudes. "Effective Leadership and Management in the Early Years" is an essential tool for all those who lead and manage within early years settings, which they can use for evaluating their effectiveness.

"Thinking about Play... cleverly brings together research-based chapters from experienced Early Years practitioners and academics who provide knowledge the field desperately needs to ensure young children can engage in play - laying their own meaningful foundations for their later education." Tricia David, Emeritus Professor of Education, Canterbury Christ Church University, UK
 "This book provides an excellect collection of chapters which encourages early years practitioners to really get to grips with their own perceptions about, understanding of and beliefs in relation to play in early education settings. In so doing, they will also be well-supported in getting to grips with decisions to change and develop their playful practices for the benefit and pleasure both of children and of themselves. Janet Moyles has brought together a good number of well-respected writers in the field in a highly accessible and informative book. Professor Pat Broadhead, Leeds Metropolitan University, UK 
 This edited collection brings together play and reflective practice and supports practitioners in reflecting more deeply on the play provision they make for young children.
