Observing Young Children Zusammenfassung

Observing Young Children Tina Bruce (Honorary Visiting Professor at University of Roehampton)

This is a book about the process of finding user-friendly and purposeful ways of observing and planning that will help those who are working with young children in a variety of settings to look with insight at children, providing what they need in order to develop and learn optimally. By examining the historic background of observing and planning, and describing examples of good practice in different group settings, this book will help to monitor a childs progress - what is needed now and to work out what is needed next.

The real life case studies from various settings including day care, nursery school, primary school, private sector and Soweto examine different observation techniques, looking at their strengths, drawbacks and use in everyday practice. Examples from the UK and internationally illustrate the history and importance of observation in a range of contexts, while a glossary clearly explains the key terminology. All the examples given in this book can be used with different National Framework documents worldwide, bearing in mind however the authors belief that curriculum frameworks must be used as a resource and never as a limitingstraitjacket.

Drawing on key theory and research, the books chapters cover:

Flexible planning
Record keeping
Working with parents
Using technology.

Full colour photographs, illustrations and useful charts and diagrams make this an accessible and engaging resource that will no doubt be invaluable to any early years practitioner.This book was originally published asGetting to Know You -part of the 0-8 series.

Observing Young Children Bewertungen

This is a timely new book, which a wide range of early years practitioners will find accessible. I strongly support its principled focus on working collaboratively with families, the way it values childrens experiences, and its practical suggestions for developing high-quality, manageable systems to record assessments. I look forward to using this book with newly-qualified and more experienced staff.

-- Dr Julian Grenier

The Froebel Trust warmly welcomes the publication of "Observing Young Children". Admirably clear and eminently practical, the book is under-pinned and suffused with Froebels principles and demonstrates their application to the central skill of observation to the benefit of both practitioners and parents.

-- Duncan H Jackman
