About this title

Synopsis

The second edition of this book is for teachers in nursery and early education and for other professional educators who wish to support and develop children′s thinking.

Cathy Nutbrown presents evidence of continuity and progression in young children′s thinking and shows, with detailed observations, that young children are able and active learners. She considers aspects of children′s patterns of learning and thinking--or schemas--and demonstrates clearly how children learn in an active, dynamic, and creative way.
