Extending Professional Practice in the Early Years Summary

Extending Professional Practice in the Early Years by Linda Miller

Extending Professional Practice in the Early Years is aimed at early years practitioners engaged in on-going learning and working in a diverse range of settings. It will be of interest to those undertaking undergraduate and postgraduate training in early years, and those involved in continuing their professional development. It is a valuable and unique resource for those in the later stages of their professional development.

The book encourages readers to take a critical stance in relation to a wide range of themes and issues which are reflected in the four parts of the book:

- listening to children

- diversity and transitions

- pedagogy and practice

- leadership and change.

Throughout the book, authors reflect common concerns such as the rights of children, diversity and a more holistic approach to working with young children, and highlight key research in the field.

'A reference source and the range of authors whose contributions have been included is certainly impressive'
