Early Years Essentials: Linking theory to provision in the Early Years
Dr Poppy Gibson: The Open University and Jayne Carter: Ignite Education Ltd
Abstract
During their presentation, Poppy and Jayne will share insights into the origin of their upcoming book with Routledge - “Early Years Essentials”. They will explore the importance of blending both theory & practice in the early years to ensure that all practitioners are effectively supported and our youngest children are nurtured to enable them to flourish. It’s of significant importance to us that the early years remains high on society’s agenda. If you have spent anytime with children under 5, then you will
recognise the joy that they bring to seemingly everyday experiences. For them their whole lives are a series of ‘firsts’! The development of our book not only recognises the significance of providing both research & pedagogical advice, but by including the voices of the early years workforce, champions the sector & celebrates the dedication & relentless enthusiasm to be ‘essential’ for the children they support.
Keywords: Early Years, Research, Pedagogy, Connections
