The Passionate Practitioner's Handbook

In The Passionate Practitioners Handbook, individuals who work with children in a wide range of early years settings will find inspiration and support. This book covers all early childhood educational settings (including childminding) and even assists those who are training to work in early childhood development.

The Handbook acknowledges and shows an understanding of the challenges faced by those working with young children. It recognises the true commitment to improving practice whilst balancing what is important to them as a professional with the needs and aspirations of the children and families they work with.

This is a self-help book for early years practitioners which;

• gets to the heart of what practitioners really need to know to transform their practice with children.
• describes and illustrates the specific knowledge and observable skills, attributes, competencies and behaviours needed by practitioners.
• offers clear, actionable advice that builds on what they already know, whilst acknowledging their point of view and what is meaningful to them.
• speaks to practitioners from a unique perspective and encourages them to revisit and reflect on the content time and time again.
