Readings for Reflective Teaching in Early Education is a unique portable library of exceptional readings, drawing together seminal extracts and contemporary literature, to support both initial study and extended career-long professionalism for early years practitioners. Classical readings are clearly marked out with their status explained and contemporary material has been selected to highlight and explore current issues. The Reflective Teaching Series is coordinated and edited by Andrew Pollard, former Director of the UK's Teaching and Learning Research Programme (TLRP). This book, the core text, Reflective Teaching in Early Education, and the website draw upon his work and the work of many years of accumulated understanding of generations of early years practitioners, primary school teachers and educationalists to develop this text for those study and working in the field of Early Years Education. Readings for Reflective Teaching in Early Education can be used independently but does form part of a set of fully integrated and complementary resources with the core text, Reflective Teaching in Early Education, and the website. The associated website, reflectiveteaching.co.uk, offers an enormous range of supplementary resources including reflective activities, research briefings, advice on further reading and up-to-date policy and curriculum documents. It also features a compendium of educational terms, links to useful websites and showcases examples of excellent research and practice. Reflective Teaching in Early Education is one of the Reflective Teaching Series - applying principles of reflective practice in early years, schools, further, higher and adult education.
