The book uses a model to describe professional teacher competence that considers the dispositions of early childhood teachers, situation-specific skills of early childhood teachers anTable of Contents Introduction Simone Dunekacke, Aljoscha Jegodtka, Thomas Koinzer, Katja Eilerts & Lars Jenßen Part 1 - Dispositions Voices of competence: What I learned from my Early Education students by Herbert P.

MorTrade Review"[The] case studies illuminate professional practice and there are plenty of applicable ideas for how to promote empathy and to use challenging picture books in ways that engage and hold potential for reframing how books and reading might be considered by non traditional readers. An engaging book that offers potential for developing professional practice." - Jake Hope, The School Librarian "On the wbole, Exploring Challenging Picture-books in Education offers an expansive, outward-looking evaluation of this exciting medium in varying contexts. Altbough many of us who study and teach children's literature have long celebrated the joy of reading picturebooks with our students, the triumph of this volume is its dedication to empirical research and to showing, in concrete terms, how picturebooks work to change readers' worldviews." - Lauren Rizzuto, Independent scholar, USATable of ContentsIntroduction: Challenging Picturebooks in EducationÅse Marie Ommundsen, Gunnar Haaland, and Bettina Kümmerling-MeibauerPart I Theoretical Perspectives on Challenging Picturebooks in Education1 Cognitive Challenges of Challenging PicturebooksBettina Kümmerling-Meibauer and Jörg Meibauer2 Challenging Picturebooks and Literacy StudiesJennifer Farrar, Evelyn Arizpe, and Julie McAdamPart II Challenging Picturebooks in Early Childhood and Primary Education3 Interpreting and Mediating a Wordless Picturebook in Pre-primary Early English Language LearningSandie Mourão4 Picturebooks and Aesthetic Literacy in Early Childhood EducationMarnie Campagnaro5 Cognitively Challenging Picturebooks and the Pleasures of Reading: Explorative Learning from Picturebooks in the ClassroomÅse Marie Ommundsen6 Picturebooks that Challenge the Young English Language LearnerJanice Bland7 Gender Diversity in Picturebooks: Challenges of a Taboo Topic in Portuguese SchoolsEmanuel Madalena and Ana Margarida RamosPart IIIChallenging Picturebooks in Secondary and Tertiary Education8 Intercultural Learning through Peter Sís’ The Wall: Teenagers Reading a Challenging PicturebookSissil Lea Heggernes9 Challenging Picturebooks in the School Library: An Untapped Resource?Åse Kristine Tveit10 Exploring a Challenging Picturebook Gospel in the ClassroomGunnar Haaland, Eivind Karlsson, Anne Kristine Øgreid, and Åse Marie Ommundsen11 The Challenge of Creativity: Using Picturebook Sequencing for Creative WritingBjörn Sundmark and Cecilia Olsson JersPart IVGlobal Perspectives Pertaining to Challenging Picturebooks in Education12 Crossing Boundaries of Age, Culture, and Time with Challenging PicturebooksSandra L.
