This will be ideal for students who are going out on placement and are asked to plan activities to align with children's development. It will also be a good point of reference for those students doing the Graduate Practitioner Competencies

This is practical and comprehensive introduction to planning which will be useful for our level 4 and 5 students who are preparing for placement. The case studies and reflection activities provide helpful ideas for discussion points in sessions.

An excellent resource for student practitioners to consider how the child can be central to their practice in planning for effective learning in the EYFS.
