Recensione:

Readings for Reflective Teaching in Early Education would support any early years professional, from early years educators to those engaged in teacher training. It will be useful in attempting to access learning in our contemporary world of blended approaches, where face to face contact with more knowledgeable others is limited, and yet the desire to be able to apply theory to practice remains a driving force in the pursuit of clarity regarding, in particular, the nature of the role of the adult in young children's learning.
- Heather Davies, Lecturer (Early Years) and Programme Director (Early Years Teacher UG and PG routes), University of Hull, UK

Readings for Reflective Teaching in Early Education offers a wide range of selected readings from a variety of sources, which will be very useful to busy students and teachers whose time is precious. It provides examples of high quality teaching and learning aimed to inspire and motivate educational professionals. Many of these papers will be a starting point for ongoing reflection and references provide follow up material. I am sure student teachers will dip into this many times following their initial education to refresh and develop their ongoing pedagogical practice
. - Anne Robertson, Lecturer in Education, Department of Early Years and Primary Education, Institute of Education, University College London, UK

This invaluable insightful collection of reflections on teaching and learning in the early years, focusses on current thinking, research, policy and practice, and offers those working in the early years an opportunity to reflect upon their own developing philosophy. I would wholeheartedly recommend Readings for Reflective Teaching in Early Education to students and practitioners alike. --- Lynne Mckenna, Director of Initial Teacher Education Programmes, Northumbria University, UK
