The DVD really enables the audience to review and critique, following chapter viewings and discussions.  Wonderful!\"    Estelle Morris, Programme Director for   Early Childhood Studies, Canterbury Christ Church University, UKPlaying to Learn exemplifies what babies' and young children's play and learning is like in the first three years.  A DVD, case studies and examples support parents and practitioners, working in a wide range of settings, to learn more about the conditions and contexts for play and learning.  Developed as the result of a project undertaken in five early years centres in the UK, focusing on high quality experiences for children from birth to three, the resource materials are highly relevant for training and professional development, addressing significant issues relating to childcare practice.The underlying message is that when children play they also learn, and the authors explore this in further detail by examining the following questions:  How can we gain a better understanding of young children's learning and development?How are play and learning connected for young children?What kinds of provision and interactions do babies and young children need? The DVD and accompanying book are organised in such a way that it can be studied by individuals or groups led by a trainer.  The sequences involved reflect everyday experiences and interactions between children and their parents or practitioners, and additional support is provided by the inclusion of selected readings, questions and challenges for consideration. The importance of observing children in order to identify and respond to their interests is emphasised throughout. Playing to Learn is an essential resource for practitioners working with babies and toddlers in out-of-home settings; and is useful and informative for parents of young children.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50279704297745,"sku":"GOR013177513","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0335222382.jpg?v=1750940837"},{"product_id":"evaluating-early-years-practice-in-your-school-book-ann-langston-9781472959164","title":"Evaluating Early Years Practice in Your School","description":"Evaluating Early Years Practice in Your School focuses on raising Early Years practitioners' confidence so that they worry less and achieve more. Linked to the teaching standards and the Ofsted framework, this invaluable guide looks at ways that teachers can evaluate their own EYFS practice to reduce unnecessary workload and allow for more 'hands-on' teaching and learning.  Should children in Reception classes attend school assemblies? Should young children be taught to write in nursery? Should practitioners' plans be based on young children's specific interests or should they look to meet the needs of individuals entering Early Years settings with speech and language delay or autism? Early Years specialist Ann Langston considers all of these questions and more to present simple solutions for teachers and leaders on what to plan, what assessments are needed and how to approach teaching and learning.  With chapters on observation and assessment, continuous provision, outdoor learning, transition, and internal and external evaluation, this book is ideal for all Early Years practitioners and leaders looking at ways to reflect on their approach to teaching and feel confident about their own judgements and the effectiveness of their practice.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50679020683537,"sku":"GOR010399508","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":50697532440849,"sku":"NGR9781472959164","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1472959167.jpg?v=1751116404"},{"product_id":"managing-staff-in-early-years-settings-book-ann-langston-9781138142978","title":"Managing Staff in Early Years Settings","description":"This book draws on a wide range of management theory and shows its relevance and relationship to early years settings.
