Description

Recognizing the various ecological contexts that support children�s development while amplifying voices from across the globe, this book challenges narrow interpretations of quality and best practice.� Each author offers a unique perspective on issues germane to the field of early childhood education: perceptions of children, curriculum, teacher education, and play-based learning. An innovative, timely, and much-needed contribution, this book represents an inclusive collection of theoretical and cultural knowledge, as well as research. Such a diverse multicentric lens opens new intellectual pathways for authentic, reciprocal knowledge exchange, while ensuring that a reimagining of early childhood education remains at the core of our teaching practice, scholarship, and activism.� This book invites everyone to imagine, to dare to believe, to hope, and to act�in the interests of children, in the interests of communities and families, and in the moral precepts of equity, inclusion and justice.Typham this is the title: Reconceptualizing Quality in Early Childhood Education, Care and Development Understanding the Child and Community
