This seminal text offers an innovative, Froebelian inspired, and evidenced approach to teacher professional development that will promote ethical practice. Providing a timely interpretation and application of Froebelian principles, theories and pedagogic actions as showcased by early childhood settings in England and New Zealand, the expert author team promote a radical shift in approach which will better support the early childhood workforce through the promotion of Froebelian communities of practice.Split into three parts, the book will provide: a contemporary account of Froebelian principles and practices and an overview of the global challenges which face young children and the educators that work with them; an illustrative and reflective narrative of the practice evidence that has emerged from three Froebelian research projects; demonstrations of how the application of the Froebelian Reflection with Guidance framework has inspired and developed the work of educators within this project. The title will be invaluable reading for all those involved in early childhood research and practice, whether in initial training, advanced professional development, practice development and improvement and innovative research programmes.
