Some food for thought in your professional career
Reviewed by Denni Morrison, advanced teaching and learning practitioner, Hertford Regional College What we've all been waiting for - the updated Child Care and Development by Pamela Minett. It has been revised to include the latest legislation, medicines and approaches, but it still contains all the things we use for day-to-day teaching on the CCE and sometimes the DCE too.
This big, full-colour book contains many illustrative drawings and photographs, but although the drawings reflect positively on our multicultural society I felt that the photographs showed little diversity.
Each section ends with a page of questions and a list of suggestions for further activities. A key symbol indicates where communication and the application of number and IT key skills are being addressed at Level 2.
There is also a small book symbol at the end of several sections which shows where to use the companion volume, Child Care and Development: Revision Exercises.
This is an ideal resource to use with GCSE Child Development, NVQ Level 2 and GNVQ Health and Social Care.
