Description

This revised edition develops the subject more thoroughly, and includes three new chapters: Reflecting on practice for meeting the professional standards; Reflecting on practice and the educational leader; and Reflective practice and managing change.

The book takes educators on a journey that will help them to gain a greater understanding of reflective practice – now a key component of the training for the early childhood educator – as it applies to the early childhood professional.

It starts by highlighting links to the EYLF and goes on to present a discussion on what reflective practice is and how this approach is important for developing professional capability.

It then provides strategies and approaches to assist the early childhood educator in the context of their own professional role and provides examples of ‘best practice’ from the field.
