Product Description

Review
"...Thank you Julie Fisher for a down to earth, easy to use, practical book." - Early Education "...offers realistic strategies for wedding a child-centred curriculum with the guidelines contained in the National Curriculum." - International Journal of Early Years Education

Product Description
In a practical and realistic way Starting from the Child examines a range of theories about young children as learners and the implications of these theories for classroom practice. Julie Fisher acknowledges the competence of young children when they arrive at school, the importance of building on their early successes and the critical role of adults who understand the individual and idiosyncratic ways of young learners. The book addresses the key issues of planning and assessment, explores the place of talk and play in the classroom and examines the role of the teacher in keeping a balance between the demands of the curriculum and the learning needs of the child.

5.0 out of 5 stars Read it!, 25 May 2004
By A Customer
Clearly one of the best books on Early Years, Julie Fisher brings to the subject a wealth of experience. Her triangle diagnram outlining a possible balance of classroom activities between adult and child-led activities (and she is very clear about which can be called "play"!) is one of the best expositions of what adults might do in the Early Years class. This is a classic text; I don't know any Early Years teacher, nursery nurse or student who hasn't felt bettr for reading it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Starting from the Child, 23 Feb 2005
By A Customer
This is a great, easy to read and well organised book. Fisher provides some great chapters including the role of the adult, the place of play, the importance of working with others, planning, learning and the curriculum and the high scope approch. Im studying a degree in Early Childhood Studies and found this book usefull for my module the early childhood curriculum. I think everyone working with children will find this book usefull, as Fisher always refers back to clasroom practice.

This is a must have book.
