About this title

Synopsis

The Child in Focus provides a comprehensive introduction for students beginning an early childhood education program. The text incorporates the full range of the early years, from birth to age 3, and ages 4-8, while linking to specific subject areas.

Divided into three sections, Part 1 offers an introduction to childhood and the concepts which form early childhood education. Part 2 covers discrete subject areas along with curriculum and pedagogy. Part 3 focuses on professional practice and teaching skills, providing students with the grounding knowledge to continue in their degree.

The Child in Focus recognises the important role early childhood educators and teachers play in society and focuses on providing the foundational skills and knowledge for students to succeed in these roles. Filled with contemporary content, The Child in Focus has a strong emphasis on the development of critical reflection for pre-service teachers and adaptability to respond to increasingly complex social and family issues.

Store Description

We've spent decades collecting & selling books, atlases, antique maps & much more. Time to spread my online presence to help a more people find that rare or unusual history book, or stunning antique maps & atlases. We will be replacing our inventory regularly & as a rule we only sell items in Very Good Plus condition or better. The majority of the history books we sell are largely based within the years 1000-1950, and are largely European or Middle East related. We also sell genuine antique maps & atlases generally from the 1700 & 1800's, plus related geographical pieces. Our books are predominantly political, academic, biographic, history & military books - anything you need, just ask & hopefully we can find it so you. The same applies to our antique maps, we have a large unlisted inventory in storage, so want to see somewhere between 1700-1900 likely to be able to help. Any other questions at all - please message.
