More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
This book provides the main ingredients for professional development in working with young children in a diverse society. It fills the gap that most early years training neglects, that is, how to work with children in developing a positive disposition towards themselves regardless of their differences. By helping children to develop a strong self-identity and good self-esteem we set the foundations for positive attitudes towards others and towards learning. Practical advice, real examples and staff activities bring the book to life. The book provides clear evidence and practical guidance on how to develop young children's emerging language, especially those children who have English as an additional language, and how to generate, activate and assess curriculum for diversity. The book focuses on all children's learning for cultural diversity. Culture is used as a broad term to include language, ethnicity, social class and gender. Each chapter offers a clear combination of theory and practice and ends with excellent staff development activities and further readings. The book will be important reading for all students and practitioners working with young children.

Format:Paperback
The book has numerous chapters, which are related to all aspects of Early Years Education. After being told to read this book, I was amazed at the quality of it. Its not often that a book is of interest to read, as well as relating at all aspects of Early Years Education. Siraj-Blatchford is a wonder in Early Education and this book is no exception. The chapters on 'Parents as Partners' 'Planning' 'Resourses' and 'Identity and Self-esteem', are brilliant and are extremely useful in the Early Years Sector. Yeah I sound like a SIraj-Blatchford enthusiast, but this is the first book that has hit a nerve within me and the rest of my colleagues.
Format:Paperback
I found this book interesting with some useful quotes which helped me with the first year of my foundation degree.
