VA08-1296	Physical Education Initiatives for Early Childhood Learners
	Pedro Gil-Madrona/ 9781799875857/ Price:US$ 215.00

	In early childhood education, children find in their own body and movement the main way to get in touch with the reality that surrounds them and, therefore, acquire knowledge about the environment in which they grow and develop. Undoubtedly, the progressive discovery of the body itself as a source of feelings and sensations, as well as exploring the different possibilities of action and bodily functions, constitutes necessary experiences on which children's thinking is built. Furthermore, the affective relationships established in psychomotor education situations, and particularly through play, are essential for the emotional development of children. Physical Education Initiatives for Early Childhood Learners offers globalized educational practices, didactic approaches, and proposals for intervention around motor development in the children ages 0-6 years. The book specifically explores laterality, coordination, relaxation, rhythm, etc. and how these are achieved through games, music, and motor stories. This book is ideal for early childhood educators, physical education teachers, administrators, daycares, preschools, early childhood learning centers, researchers, academicians, and students interested in physical education’s role in early child development. Topics Covered The many academic areas covered in this publication include, but are not limited to: ‧Active Breaks ‧Early Childhood Development ‧Gamification ‧Learning Environments ‧Motor Development ‧Physical Activity ‧Play in Early Childhood ‧Recess ‧Sensory Stimulation ‧Special Education ‧Student Evaluation ‧Teacher Education

VA08-1247	Supporting Children's Well-Being During Early Childhood Transition to School
	Sanja Tatalovic Vorkapic/ 9781799844358/ Price:US$ 215.00

	Life transitions differ concerning the intensity of the change and the intensity of the child’s reaction to that change. For most children, the first and most significant transition is from the family home to an institution of early care and education, which includes preschool. These transitions can also include children's passage from kindergarten to elementary school. However, the intensity of the child's reaction is related to the size of the change that is happening and also to who or what is involved in that change and the importance a child attributes to that someone or something. Supporting Children’s Well-Being During Early Childhood Transition to School is an essential scholarly publication that examines evidence-based practices and approaches that fully support a child’s well-being during transition periods in early childhood. It serves as a resource to rethink contemporary transition theoretical models, research studies, and applied practices.

VA08-1215	Professional and Ethical Consideration for Early Childhood Leaders
	Denise D. Cunningham/ 9781799850892/ Price:US$ 270.00

	Early childhood educators are keenly aware of the importance of a child’s transition to “real school.” This transition is occurring earlier in a child’s life now that school districts nationwide are moving to pre-kindergarten experiences for 3- and 4-year olds. Annually, more than one million children attend public school pre-k programs overseen by elementary school principals who, although veteran educational leaders, were not trained to oversee these programs. Although pre-k classrooms are rapidly growing and deserve special attention, school leaders must be reminded that early childhood means more than pre-kindergarten; it extends through third grade. School leadership needs to understand the principles of early childhood education to effectively support all children age three to grade three. Professional and Ethical Consideration for Early Childhood Leaders is a collection of innovative research that crafts an overall understanding of the importance of early childhood leadership in today’s schools. The book employs strategies to improve support for children in early childhood years, examines the different roles of early childhood leadership, analyzes best practices for implementation in early childhood contexts, and explores improvements for leadership preparation for schools with pre-k through third-grade children.

VA08-1212	International Perspectives on Modern Developments in Early Childhood Education
	Cristina A. Huertas-Abril/ 9781799825036/ Price:US$ 215.00

	Through different approaches like toys and play, children explore and know the rules and symbols of their communities and recreate roles and situations that reflect their sociocultural and 21st century plurilingual world. As a result, they learn how to subordinate desires to social rules, cooperate with others willingly, and engage in socially appropriate behavior. When they are evaluated together psychologically, there is a current need for action to increase the amount and quality of play provided to children. Since discrepancies are observed between urban and rural areas, as well as among different cultures, there is also a need for a research initiative where cultures can learn and take advantage of the experiences of each other. International Perspectives on Modern Developments in Early Childhood Education is an essential scholarly publication that identifies ways of intertwining key areas of early childhood education, including international approaches, intercultural education, bilingual/plurilingual education, and the role of play and toys as means for meaningful intercultural and multilingual learning.

VA08-757	The SAGE Encyclopedia of Contemporary Early Childhood Education, 3-Vols/Set
	Couchenour, Donna/ 9781483340357/ Price:GBP 490.00

	The general public often views early childhood education as either simply “babysitting” or as preparation for later learning. Of course, both viewpoints are simplistic.

Through approximately 450 entries, this work includes all areas of child development – physical, cognitive, language, social, emotional, aesthetic – as well as comprehensive review of best educational practices with young children, effective preparation for early childhood professionals and policy making practices, and addresses such questions as: ‧How is the field of early childhood education defined? ‧What are the roots of this field of study? ‧How is the history of early childhood education similar to yet different from the study of public education? ‧What are the major influences on understandings of best practices in early childhood education?

	The Creative CurriculumR for Infants, Toddlers & Twos helps teachers appreciate and find joy in the everyday discoveries that delight a child--the sound a rattle makes; the leaves blowing in circles by the wind; the ball that unexpectedly rolls across a child's path; the ants marching across the pavement. It is a comprehensive curriculum that helps teachers achieve the very best program for children under three. If the interactions children have are nurturing, consistent, and loving, and the experiences they have are appropriately challenging, then infants, toddlers, and twos grow and flourish. In such an environment, children learn to trust and joyfully explore their surroundings, making discoveries and developing a sense of themselves as competent learners and caring human beings.

VA08-231	Early Years Education, 4-Vols/Set.
	Parker-Rees, Rod/ 9780415326698/ Price:GBP 325.00

	The education and care of children under the age of eight has become one of the major focuses of attention in recent education research and policy-making in all parts of the world. It is now widely recognised that investment in provision at this stage can be both cost effective and beneficial to the social fabric of communities. Approaches to education in nurseries, kindergartens and preschools have traditionally been significantly different from those which inform the teaching of older children but, until recently, these approaches have had little impact on education beyond early years settings. Now, however, early childhood is becoming increasingly popular as a focus for academic study around the world. The potential for insights from this study to inform debate about learning at all levels is perhaps greater than it has ever been. This collection of papers provides a valuable resource for scholars who need to ground their own study in wider historical and global discourses concerning the education of children under eight. The collection includes both important historical sources and contemporary analysis of current issues, representing a wide range of countries, cultures and traditions.
