Description - Becoming an Early Years Teacher: From Birth to Five Years by Jessica Johnson

This book provides a handy compendium to support you as you train to become an Early Years Teacher. The eight Teachers' Standards (Early Years) underpin the core structure of the book, and there is strong linking throughout to the statutory and non-statutory framework and guidance for the Early Years Foundation Stage.

Offering comprehensive coverage of theories of early learning and child development, this book:

Brings together relevant knowledge and skills in a way that challenges you to think critically about key theories of early learning and development in your role as an Early Years Teacher
Reflects on the nature of professionalism and offers activities to help you identify your own learning journey and develop your own professional identity
Underpins practice with a focus and recognition of the need to identify and develop key communication skills that build positive professional relationships in the best interests of babies and children
Includes practical examples and case studies to support reflection and inspire you to creative positive learning opportunities for babies and young children

Importantly, the book concludes with valuable guidance on gathering assessment evidence of your personal practice, as well as demonstrating the ability to lead and support early years provision from birth to five years.

This is an essential book to support all trainees in developing their role and skills as an Early Years Teacher.
