Taylor & Francis Ltd Early Childhood Teachers Professional Competence in Mathematics
Book SynopsisThis edited volume presents cutting-edge research on the professional competence of early childhood mathematics teachers. It considers professional knowledge, motivational-affective dispositions, skills and performance in early childhood mathematics and outlines future fields of research in this area.The book argues that it is essential for early childhood teachers to prepare a high-quality learning environment and that mathematical competence is highly relevant for children's individual development. Bringing together research from mathematics education, educational science and psychology, it integrates international perspectives and considers the contextual factors that affect the development of children's mathematical competence within Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) settings. 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.

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.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Handbook of Research on Waldorf Education
Waldorf Education: An all-round, balanced approach to education that is equally concerned with intellectual-cognitive and artistic-creative learning. A practice- and experience-based pedagogy. Non-selective and open to all children and young people; offering a stress-free, secure learning environment across 12 grades; embedded in a community of students, teachers, and parents. An alternative education that has been successfully practiced for over a century. The first Waldorf School was founded in Stuttgart, Germany, in 1919. Today, Waldorf Education is practiced in all countries and cultures around the world: in over 1,000 schools, more than 2,000 kindergartens, and numerous centers for special needs education. This makes Waldorf Education the most prevalent alternative approach to teaching. And yet, despite the success and (now empirically validated) recognition that Waldorf schools enjoy, the theory underlying them remains controversial. Within the academic debate, Waldorf

Taylor & Francis Ltd A Practical Resource for Supporting Childrens
Book SynopsisFor effective use, this book should be purchased alongside the storybook - Something Has Happened: A Storybook. This programme of activities, created to be used alongside the storybook, Something Has Happened, has been designed to help children develop their own internal measure of safety, and teaches them how to ask for help if they feel unsafe.The sessions and activities in this book directly correlate to episodes in the storybook Something Has Happened, covering the fundamental aspects of safeguarding as well as elements of the Protective Behaviours (PB) process. Taking adults and children through a wide range of discussion points and activities, all underpinned by clear guidance, it acts as a starting point to help children understand that being safe from harm is the most important right they have and that the trusted adults around them will always take action to believe and protect them.Key features of this resource incTrade Review"Something Has Happened is a valuable and practical safeguarding resource for all professionals who work with children. It covers key themes about feeling and being safe in a detailed, yet engaging, way. The reading book can be used as a standalone resource with clear language and charming illustration, but when combined with the lesson plans and resources it becomes an even more powerful tool to empower children to recognise their own feelings of safety or otherwise and to act upon those feelings appropriately to safeguard themselves.Staff are clearly guided through the lesson plans, with suggestions of appropriate language to use to draw out the main protective behaviours themes and useful photocopiable resources are provided. The fact that we never learn what Joe's "worry" is helps to make the resource universal - it can be used in the curriculum to support children with common worries, through to things that require an "Early Help" approach with other agencies, through to serious disclosures of abuse and neglect. Giving children the language and permission to talk about their worries in this way is both powerful and positive."Jo Perrin, Lead Safeguarding Adviser, Services For EducationTable of ContentsFeeling Safe My Safety Scale Let’s Help Joe My Network Don’t Give Up Feeling Safer Body Outline Feelings Alphabet My Safety Scale Safety Scale Cards Safety Scale Situations I Feel Safe When….

Taylor & Francis Ltd Artfully Teaching the Science of Reading
Book SynopsisThis inviting book is a bridge between two major strands of reading instruction that are often held in opposition: the science of reading and artful approaches to teaching reading. Although the current climate of literacy instruction positions these approaches as diametrically opposed, the authors Young, Paige, and Rasinski describe how teachers can use the science of reading to engage students in artful, engaging, and authentic instruction. The authors reveal how effective teaching is a dynamic process that requires agency and creativity and show how teachers make artful shifts based on the needs of students in specific contexts. Chapters include a range of examples and explanations of how artful teaching is integrated into reading instruction and how it can increase studentsâ motivation and positive attitudes toward reading. The concise and practical chapters cover key topics, including phonemic awareness, reading fluency, vocabulary, assessment, home and family reading, and more.This essential road map for all pre-service and in-service reading teachers restores the importance of teacher agency, supports the critical understanding of reading research, and allows teachers to use their knowledge, experience, and creative approaches in the classroom. This is the definitive guide to teaching reading as both an art and a science.Trade Review"This book is an absolute gem that every teacher of literacy needs to read today! What a fabulous resource that is jam-packed with the latest science and proven engaging lessons. Young, Paige, and Rasinski provide the most current research on teaching reading in a readable and succinct format. They artfully share lessons on every aspect of teaching reading. Best of all this slim reference with its ‘go-to’ ideas almost fits in your pocket." --Lori Oczkus, Author and Literacy ConsultantTable of Contents1. Teaching Reading: A Science, but also an Art 2.
