Child Development in Practice Responsive Teaching and Learning from Birth to Five Pamela May, Early Years Consultant, UK

In today’s busy setting, an understanding of child development sometimes gets overlooked, yet it lies at the heart of effective practice. Child Development in Practice provides an approachable, user-friendly base from which to plan ways of working with children that are developmentally appropriate and will enable them to learn enjoyably and effectively.

Drawing on recent research, the book thoughtfully discusses sound principles of child development alongside descriptions of every day practice. It then offers practical advice on how to fully utilise the key areas in an early years setting, including the creative area, books and stories and the outside, and shows how to plan and implement integrated topics where teaching is cross-curricular and holistic. Throughout, a series of key questions are presented to encourage practitioners to reflect on why they are teaching in certain ways and increase their understanding of children’s developmental needs.

Directly linking theory and practice, this book aims to give students and practitioners the knowledge and confidence they need to help children become active, interactive and independent learners.

Understanding Transitions in the Early Years

Supporting the Transition to Key Stage 1

A Practical Guide

Kathleen Orlandi, Liverpool Hope University, UK

Anne O’Connor, Writer, UK There are many transitions that children experience before they are five, including the first major transition from care in the home.

Successive changes can have a serious impact on young children and stress, separation and insecure attachments can affect not only a child’s emotional health but also cognitive and intellectual development.

Understanding Transitions in the Early Years explains why transitions matter and provides practical guidance on how to support young children’s developing emotional resilience and equip them to embrace change in the future.

This book introduces the concept of transition and identifies the key problem areas for children and adults focusing on the differences in philosophy and practice between the EYFS and Key Stage 1. It stresses the need for a balanced approach and the importance of sustained shared thinking from the EYFS through Key Stage One and provides practical strategies for achieving this.

Supporting the Transition to Key Stage 1 includes detailed guidance on: • preparing for the transition to Key Stage 1 • the role of the teacher • the balance between adult-led and child initiated activity

Aimed at practitioners and students, the book:

• play and the use of the outdoor environment

• draws together the research on neuroscientific evidence, attachment theory, child development and childcare practices

• creating a stimulating environment that supports a balanced approach

• looks at ways to reduce transitions including the key person approach

Throughout the book, Kathleen Orlandi emphasises the child’s perspective and draws on naturalistic observations of children before, during and after a period of transition. With case studies, key quotes from children and questions for reflective practice, this textbook will be invaluable for students and practitioners in both the EYFS and Key Stage 1.

• offers guidance and practical strategies for practitioners/managers/ head teachers for supporting children through transitions.

October 2011: 234 x 156: 192pp Pb: 978-0-415-61243-2: £19.99

Classroom Literacy Games for VCOP Fun-packed activities for ages 7–13 Heather Butler, Freelance Writer, UK

’Children enjoyed it so much they didn’t realise they were being worked so hard.’

Jo Miles, Learning Support Assistant at Manor Farm Community Junior School, Hazlemere, Bucks

Teacher, author and writing consultant, Heather Butler, asked teachers what resources they would like to complement their current literacy teaching. Answers repeated these words lots of times; ‘differentiation’, ‘kinaesthetic’, ‘creative’, ‘games for groups’.

This book is the result. It contains games to develop children’s understanding of words, connectives and sentences and is suitable for upper KS1 and KS2 children.

Each game is carefully explained in terms of what the children do, learning outcomes and teachers notes which are provided to include questions to ask the children, four way differentiation and creative writing opportunities.

Full instructions are provided and the book includes five photocopiable A3 playing boards for use in the classroom. Games included are: • Four Starters: Pupils use dice to move a round a board to collect words. Use four of these words to make a sentence beginning, then complete the sentence.

• Cool Sentences: Pupils throw two dice and collect words after consulting co-ordinates on a grid (like Battleships). These words then make short sentences which can be extended using a connective.

Different prepositions are also named and used.

• Cunning Connectives: Create sentences using beginning and ending phrases joined by a connective. The sentences can then be used to generate story ideas.

• In Other Words: Throw a dice to decide which words to cut out and stick on top of words with similar meanings. Children then write sentences using the words.

• Punctuation Pieces: Working in pairs or groups, children move a counter around a board, collecting words and punctuation to recreate the sentences.

They can then create their own game using a template. Games generate ideas which children can record, ready to feed back to the rest of the class.

Less able children can play these games helped by an adult, with the integrated challenge of progressing to the next level. These games have been trialled by schools in Bournemouth, Watford, Uxbridge, Hazlemere, Dorking and Guildford.

Adventure Stories for Reading, Learning and Literacy Cross-Curricular Resources for the Primary School Mal Leicester, University of Nottingham, UK and Roger Twelvetrees, Children’s Author, UK

Adventure Stories for Reading, Learning and Literacy takes a unique approach to cross-curricular teaching in the primary classroom. Providing eight original adventure stories, the authors build up a suite of resources and activities for teachers to use in the classroom, providing cross-curricular links in line with the PNS framework, to literacy, science, PE, design and technology, numeracy, geography and history.

It examines the continuous media and peer pressures that young children are exposed to and encourages children to recognise their own strengths and qualities and to become resilient members of society. The authors demonstrate a practical range of activities and projects for teachers to work with designed to make them confident in discussing body image in the classroom.

• practical guidance on how to support and involve parents and carers • analysis on the changing social influences of home life, peer pressure and the media • overviews of research on the links between body image, academic achievement and emotional well being.

By establishing the needs of children between the ages of 10–12, Bridging the Transition from Primary to Secondary School offers an insight into children’s development, building a framework for the creation of appropriate and relevant educational experiences.

Second Language Learning through Drama Practical Techniques and Applications Joe Winston, University of Warwick, UK Drama techniques are increasingly being recognised as a valuable pedagogic tool for language learning that can harness children’s imaginations and stimulate their desire to communicate.

Second Language Learning through Drama draws on current theories of additional and foreign language learning and provides practical examples supported by case studies to show how drama can be used to support the four key skills of reading, writing, listening and speaking.

Drawing on the work of an international group of highly experienced practitioners of drama and additional foreign language teaching, the book clearly explains the key drama conventions and techniques that can be used in language learning. It outlines the innovative ways in which they have used drama to create enjoyable and stimulating classroom activities that allow for multiple ways of learning. Each chapter is supported by activities for teachers to incorporate into their own lessons and the approaches described are all highly flexible and easily adaptable to different teaching contexts. Throughout the book, emphasis is on making language learning accessible and relevant to children and young people.

Teaching Religion and Science Effective Pedagogy and Practical Approaches for RE Teachers Tonie Stolberg and Geoff Teece, both at University of Birmingham, UK

Teaching Religion and Science aims to give RE teachers a pedagogical foundation for the teaching of religion and science topics. It will help you to have confidence to include what might appear to be challenging or controversial topics in your lessons, and provides guidance on how religion and science themes can be effectively addressed using appropriate classroom teaching methods.

Containing a wealth of practical advice, it helps you understand your own attitudes to the subject, as well as those of your students, to ensure successful teaching.

Essential guidance includes:

Teaching … As if the Planet Matters NEW

Teaching Secondary Geography as if the Planet Matters John Morgan Young people are growing up in a culture where they are increasingly surrounded by images and warnings of environmental ‘crisis’. In recent years, climate change, food security, the destruction of biomes, natural disasters, and the challenges of a rapidly urbanizing world have all become significant issues and, more recently, the economic ‘crisis’ has raised questions about the viability of the high mobility, high consumption lifestyles associated with advanced capitalist society.

Schools are important places where young people can learn about and begin to understand these complex issues, and school geography is a subject which focuses on all of the above issues. However, this thought-provoking text argues that, in its present form, the simple models of people and environment found in school geography serve to inhibit understanding of the causes of environmental issues, and that there is an urgent need to develop approaches to curriculum development which, drawing from developments in human and environmental geography, can help students understand the nature of the contemporary world.

Why Do I Need a Teacher When I’ve got Google?

Re-designing Learning Contexts

The Essential Guide to the Big Issues for Every 21st Century Teacher

Rosemary Luckin, London Knowledge Lab, Institute of Education, University of London, UK

Ian Gilbert

Why do I need a teacher when I’ve got Google? is just one of the challenging, controversial and thought-provoking questions Ian Gilbert poses in his long-awaited follow up to the classic Essential Motivation in the Classroom.

Technology-Rich, Learner-Centred Ecologies

Series: Foundations and Futures of Education

Richard Noss, Director of ESRC/EPSRC TEL Research Program

Questioning the unquestionable, this book will make you reconsider everything you thought you knew about teaching and learning, such as: • Are you simply preparing the next generation of unemployed accountants?

• What do you do for the ‘sweetcorn kids’ who come out of the education system in pretty much the same state as when they went in?

• What’s the real point of school?

Re-designing Learning Contexts seeks to re-dress the lack of attention that has traditionally been paid to a learner’s wider context and proposes a model to help educators and technologists develop more productive learning contexts.

This interdisciplinary study draws on a range of disciplines, including geography, anthropology, psychology, education and computing, to investigate the dynamics and potential of teacher-learner interaction within a learning continuum, and across a variety of locations.

• Exams – so whose bright idea was that?

April 2010: 234 x 156: 208pp Pb: 978-0-415-55442-8: £23.99

With his customary combination of hard-hitting truths, practical classroom ideas and irreverent sense of humour, Ian Gilbert takes the reader on a breathless rollercoaster ride through burning issues of the twenty-first century, considering everything from the threats facing the world and the challenge of the BRIC economies to the link between eugenics and the eleven plus.

Rethinking Schools

As wide-ranging and exhaustively-researched as it is entertaining and accessible, this book is designed to challenge teachers and inform them – as well as encourage them – as they strive to design a twenty-first century learning experience that really does bring the best out of all young people. After all, the future of the world may just depend on it.

’This book is a stunner. Writing in an entertaining, page turning style, Ian Gilbert engages the reader with some powerful ideas about learning and teaching’ Sara Bubb, Senior Lecturer at the Institute of Education, London

Improved Educational Outcomes for All? Christopher Chapman, University of Manchester, UK Systems must continue to evolve in order to meet the needs of students and particularly those in the most challenging circumstances. In this book, Chris Chapman reflects on a range of Emerging Structural Arrangements (ESAs) that have begun to appear across a number of systems. The features of ESAs include: • increased involvement of the private sector and other interested parties (including charities and faith groups) • radical redesign of buildings • the blurring and erosion of organisational boundaries • re-definition of ‘teachers’ and ‘teaching’ • the involvement of an extended range of services stakeholders within the schooling process.

Drawing on contemporary evidence to consider the potential of ESAs to promote improved outcomes for the most disadvantaged students and reflecting on the implications for leadership, management and governance in such a diverse and dynamic environment, Rethinking Schools represents a unique addition to the literature presenting new research in this emerging area of international importance. It will be of interest to all those with an interest in leadership, policy, school improvement and educational change.

Changing Schools

Using Effectiveness Data for School Improvement

Alternative Approaches to Make a World of Difference Edited by Robert Lingard, University of Queensland, Australia, Pat Thomson, University of Nottingham, UK and Terry Wrigley The raising of standards in schools is a global challenge to policymakers. This book presents new thinking and practice for progressing school change today, drawn from the works of authors around the world. Educational policy-making has been dominated by particular human capital oriented theories of school improvement, formulated and implemented in neo-liberal political environments. This book seeks to challenge this dominance. It draws both on contemporary innovations in practice and theory and long standing traditions of alternative thinking and practice. Linking together and articulating other ways of conceiving of and implementing school change, it bases its findings on values of equality and global citizenship. It shows how schools can work to make different knowledges, languages, narratives, truths and ways of being integral to mainstream curriculum, pedagogy, assessment and school cultures and structures.

Anthony Kelly and Christopher Downey, both at University of Southampton, UK

Data metrics in schools are becoming increasingly complex, but despite their best efforts, teachers and academics generally find them something of a ‘black-box’. This book lifts the lid on that box, exploring the provenance and problematization of existing techniques and developing new algorithms for measuring the more oblique aspects of in-school performance. Chapters are sectioned in three parts – ‘Past’, ‘Present’ and ‘Future’ – and cover: • the historical journey from rawthreshold to refined-contextual measures of school effectiveness • research and policy on pupil attainment and value-added data

• the leading UK government and Fischer Family Trust models • issues relating to differential effectiveness and the interpretation of data

Beyond the School Gates Can Full Service and Extended Schools Overcome Disadvantage?

Colleen Cummings, University of Newcastle, UK, Alan Dyson, University of Manchester, UK and Liz Todd, University of Newcastle, UK This book, for the first time ever, critically examines the role of full service and extended schools. The authors draw on their extensive international evaluations of this radical new phenomenon to ask: • What do extended or full service schools hope to achieve, and why should services based on schools be any more effective than services operating from other community bases?

• how best to blend data from different sources • new non-cognitive metrics for assessing social and emotional aspects of learning (SEAL) and staff responsibility • managing data for school improvement and understanding professional attitudes to it.

Using Effectiveness Data for School Improvement brings together for the first time in one place the various metrics and models, and their basis in research. A full technical specification is included so that both ‘data experts’ and ‘data novices’, academics and practitioners, can use the book to understand and maximize what is potentially a hugely transforming, but under-utilized, resource and an increasingly important aspect to school and curriculum management.

Developing and Utilising Metrics

• What pattern of services and activities is most effective?

• What does extended schooling mean for children and families who are not highly disadvantaged, or for schools outside the most disadvantaged areas?

• How can schools lead extended services at the same time as doing their ‘day job’ of teaching children?

• Why should schools be concerned with family and community issues?

• Beyond the advocacy of ‘extended provision’, what real evidence is there that schools of this kind make a difference, and how can school leaders evaluate the impact of their work?

ADHD: All Your Questions Answered

What Can Teachers Do? Geoff Kewley, Consultant Neuro-developmental Paediatrician, UK Series: David Fulton / Nasen

Is Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder a ‘made-up’ term? Is it simply an excuse for bad behaviour? How do children with ADHD really experience school?

This practical teacher’s guide dispels all the myths and gets down to the facts about ADHD. It explores the ‘nitty-gritty’ of what you need to know in order to help the children in your class to cope with this complex condition.

This fully revised second edition gives an overview of the disorder, based on the broad internationally recognised approach to ADHD, which takes account of its biological as well as environmental elements. It includes: • real-life classroom scenarios and case studies of specific children • practical management strategies for both teachers and parents • an exploration of prevailing attitudes to ADHD • advice on initial diagnosis and ongoing assessment.

Packed full of no-nonsense advice and tips, this book will help you adopt the educational strategies and behaviour management approaches that are best suited to each individual child. It also explores the use of alternative treatments, such as psychological and psychiatric strategies, medication, counselling, coaching and changes to diet.

Children who have ADHD can often experience school failure, expulsion and emotional, behavioural and social problems. By demystifying the disorder and its coexisting conditions, this book will help you to understand and manage ADHD, enabling you to offer the children you teach a more positive future.

Each chapter will end with a summary page/handout that can be used with colleagues in a continuing professional development context.
