Beginning Teaching, Beginning Learning: In Early Years and Primary Education

By Janet Moyles, Jan Georgeson, Jane Payler (Open University Press, 22.99, ISBN 9780335244126)

There is plenty here in this expanded fourth edition to support new teachers and other early years professionals to work and play effectively with babies and young children. Expanded areas include safeguarding, attachments and relationships, assessment, the indoor and outdoor environment, new technologies and empowering children. Reflections on the revised QTS Standards and links to Early Years Professional Status provide useful sources of reference, and the many case studies will stimulate new ideas and reflective practice.
