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!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSue Elliott, University of New England, Australia\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClair Stevens, Canterbury Christ Church University, UK\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClare Boucher, Greenwich Community College, UK\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI 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. An invaluable resource rich in content and supportive of CPD as well as Early Years students, supporting their learning of Forest Schools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/em\u003e 1 The context 2 Theory and practice 3 The Danish pedagogue 4 The learning environment 5 The Danish early years curriculum 6 Organisation of Danish early years settings 7 The future of the Danish Forest School Approach \u003cem\u003eGlossary\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51019517657431,"sku":"9781138688094","price":28.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781138688094.jpg?v=1750780506","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/understanding-the-danish-forest-school-approach-9781138688094","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
