Including a new chapter on the curriculum, this text explores all aspects of the approach including: The geographical, historical, social and cultural influences that have shaped the philosophy and pedagogy of the early years setting in Denmark. The people and theories thatTrade ReviewMary Whalley, Leeds Metropolitan University, UK This is a valuable text for students at FE level (for instance on the Level 3 Diploma for the Children’s Workforce [Early Years Educator]) and those on under-graduate programmes considering aspects of pedagogy relating to early childhood/primary education – such as Foundation Degree Early Years, BA Childhood Studies and initial teacher education (EYTS and QTS – EYFS/KS1 and KS2?). It has wider appeal to parents and other professionals in providing good understanding of the Danish Forest School approach. Almost certainly, this book also has international appeal and relevance for students at an equivalent level. This book still has relevance and validity in contemporary discourse. I very much enjoyed reading this and learned a lot from it! Sue Elliott, University of New England, Australia The current edition provides an excellent introduction to Danish early childhood education and the principles and pedagogy of forest school. The publication is well organised, the key points and implications at the end of each chapter are useful guides. The text is concise and readable by a broad audience. The main audience is in-service and pre-service early childhood educators. Clair Stevens, Canterbury Christ Church University, UK This is an accessible book that would support teachers, practitioners and students’ knowledge and understanding of both the pedagogical approach to the Danish Forest School and consolidate child development theory and practice. The book is clearly structured and each chapter flows well; beginning by setting out the context, history and influences that have shaped the practice in Denmark. Clare Boucher, Greenwich Community College, UK I believe that there is a real need for this book because of the continuing popularity of the Forest School approach. Most Early Years settings now have a ‘Forest School’ type outdoor learning environment, due to the many benefits for the children. Yes I do recommend that you publish the Second Edition of this book, Jane Williams-Siegfredsen is obviously an expert in this field and provides invaluable insight into the forest school Danish Approach.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Expertise
Book SynopsisThis book offers an important and timely critique of expertise, showing how it is a âkeywordâ shaped by social, historical, and political debates about what counts as knowledge and truth, and who counts as experts. Using teacher expertise as an illustrative case, Jessica Gerrard and Jessica Holloway reflect on recent events, including COVID-19 and the climate crisis, to examine how expertise is never neutral, objective, or fixed. They argue that âgetting politicalâ is not just an inevitable part of teacher expertise, but a necessary basis of any claim to it. Across the chapters, Expertise explores how expertise is socially constructed in relation to governance, uses of data and evidence, understandings of ignorance and the unknown, and â ultimately â power. Using contemporary and historical examples from international contexts, the authors address the political positioning of expertise and how this creates boundaries between who is an expert and who is not, and what is (and is noTrade ReviewExpertise provides a radical re-examination of the cultural politics of teachers’ work.
