'This well edited book illustrates the importance of reflective practice in the early years through consideration of many contemporary issues and will be of interest to Childhood Studies and EYPS students as well as, practitioners and University tutors. The inclusion of many practical examples enables readers to make links between theory and practice, to examine their own practice and emphasises the powerful learning undertaken through considered reflection' - Sue Kay-Flowers, Senior Lecturer, Liverpool Hope University
Higher level than needed
This is great for reflecting on your own practice but this also gave elements that can be taken to the classroom so pass on for students to also reflect on practice when studying the early years course
An excellent publication which gives the reader an insight into the importance of reflection and the benefits it has for children and the practitioner.
An easy to read, relevant text to support students with their reflections in practice
Reed's book on reflective practice in early years is an essential read for students studying childcare programmes at level 3 and above. The book explores concepts of reflective practice and the impact of this in practice. An interesting and informative read which is fully recommended to students and teachers alike who work with children.
This book is essential for the level 3 EYE course as it has all the relevant information related to observing children in an early years setting. The book is designed at a good level and links made to EYFS very well.
A comprehensive, useful book.
Reflection not always easy to do honestly, this book helps to show the way and enable the reader develop the skills needed to reflect honestly and to support others. case studies enable the reader to view others points of view and to link placement and practice in a 'reflective' way.
A very user-friendly book which covers many aspects of reflective practice and a variety of perspectives
This book is highly recommended for all courses as reflective practice is essential to all practitioners. Book now ordered for the next academic year.
Really useful book for any early years practitioner, helps link theory and practice. Useful for my students!
Generally up to date - examines a great breadth of issues. Accessible, thought provoking - a very useful text and well liked by students
Excellent source of reference for critical reflection for the BA Early Years (Top Up)
Another very interesting book edited by Reed and Canning. It can be useful for every single module of the Early Childhood Studies course. Every chapter of this book is related to the current curriculum and can supports students and Early Years professional in their work with children.
Extremely useful for any Undergraduate student who has a module on reflective practice linked to their work setting.
I have personally used this book in my teaching and I have recommended that the students on the Foundation Degree in Early Childhood purchase it to support them with developing their reflective writing. The students need to reflect on their professional development to further develop their practice and this book provides good examples of how to do this in practice.
A good book for students to refer to when writing up their reflective accounts
A thorough introduction to reflective practice, written in a style that suits undergraduate students who need a text that covers everything from an introduction to reflection, through to a more indepth examination of the theories of reflection.
The content of the chapters fits with the subject content of this module in particular multi agency working and working together. The focus on reflective practice is a particular strength and will support students in an area they find difficult
