The vital need for early years practitioners to know about child development and to use that knowledge in their day to day practice with young children is acknowledged in some quarters but countered by the lack of this element in much teacher training. So we're really pleased to begin a new child development series this week which takes an in-depth look at schemas as a means of understanding how young children develop and learn. The series, which is written by the Pen Green team who have been carrying out exciting work on schemas, will alternate with Professor Tricia David's articles on leading theorists to provide some thought-provoking information.
