Edited by Donna Pendergast and Susanne Garvis, this new edition of Teaching Early Years provides a comprehensive overview of and introduction to educating children from birth to eight years.

Structured around the key priorities for early childhood education and care – curriculum, pedagogy, and assessment – this book supports readers to develop and enhance their knowledge and understanding of the essential theory, scholarship, and practical applications. This second edition has been thoroughly revised to reflect the significant innovation and development across the sector, ensuring that coverage of content, the latest research, and references to curricula and professional standards are up to date and relevant to today’s pre- and in-service educators. The new edition includes a greater focus on a number of areas compared to the first edition, including:

Sustainability education

Health and nutrition

Innovative and age-appropriate pedagogies

Increased coverage of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives

New understandings of the early years learner.

Each chapter provides case studies, examples from practice, chapter summaries and reflection questions, encouraging the reader to engage more deeply with the key concepts and learning points.

Bringing together leading scholars and practitioners, Teaching Early Years provides the specialist knowledge and preparation required for early years educators, in all learning environments, to deliver exceptional education and care to all children in the early years.
