Aimed at all beginning teachers involved in early years teaching.
This text looks at the unique role of the early years teacher and outlines how you can support the development of children as unique individuals through an enabling environment, building success through effective relationships, outstanding provision and purposeful assessment. It encourages you to think about your own development in a holistic sense in order to promote outstanding professional practice.
The Essential Guides for Early Career Teachers provide accessible, carefully researched, quick reads for early career teachers, covering the key topics you will encounter during your training year and first two years of teaching. They complement and are fully in line with the new Early Career Framework and are intended to assist ongoing professional development by bringing together current information and thinking on each area in one convenient place.
This is an accessible, informative and highly practical book that will help early career teachers pause and reflect on their practice, and how they would like to develop this further. The book is packed full of valuable ideas to support thoughtful reflection in areas relevant to early years practitioners, such as building relationships, planning and playing. I would highly recommend it to those teaching in the early years.

This is a very welcome text to support the development of excellent professional practice amongst early career teachers (ECTs) in early year’s settings. It is structured in a clear way, providing strong stimuli to support effective practice. It is rooted in the experience of being an ECT, ensuring the chapters are highly relevant and have clear application. Throughout, there is a strong focus on children and their learning and development, which helps ECTs keep their focus on the most important part of entering the profession, whatever other pressures make demands on their time. Throughout, there is a very welcome focus on a values-based approach to the professional role and the importance of developing effective and high quality relationships with a broad range of stakeholders.
