Offered in 0 more formatsNutbrown's (education, U. of Sheffield, UK) introductory resource provides students and practitioners a beginning point for understanding the many terms central to working in and studying early childhood education and care. The 35 entries of the second edition were selected via a survey of 500 early childhood education students and practitioners. Ranging from Assessment to the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, the alphabetically-arranged entries cover a mixture of topics: types of practice, curriculum and assessment, philosophical underpinnings, and some terms that have a place in the lore of early childhood education and care. Each entry provides details of origins and definitions of the term, discussion of related research issues, examples of the term as applied in practice, and a references and further reading list for users interested in learning more about the concept. No subject index has been provided. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
