Critical Skills in the Early Years by Vicki Charlesworth
Is it possible that three and four year olds can: work together to solve problems? Be good listeners? Make decisions with their peers? take responsibility for their learning environment? And reflect on the learning process to enhance their learning in the future? Based on her pioneering work in Early Years, Vicki Charlesworth demonstrates that the answer to all these questions is a resounding 'Yes!' Using the powerful principles of Network Press's highly acclaimed Critical Skills Programme, she outlines proven strategies for creating a young learning community in which children can work towards and achieve the Early Learning Goals through contextualized learning.
