This is a guide to observation techniques for all those working with children under eight years. It looks at why child care workers need to observe children and then gives instructions on how to carry out such observations. The authors show the aims and objectives for observing children and illustrate the many different methods of recording what has been observed. They also provide guidance on observing children with special needs and devote a whole chapter to suggested activities for promoting developmental progress. For easy reference, the book ends with a detailed breakdown of the developmental milestones.

Anti-Discriminatory Practice: A Guide for Workers in Childcare and Education (Practical Childcare)

This text addresses the need to work in an anti-discriminatory framework when caring for and educating children. It looks at legislative problems, research findings and practical applications. It discusses all aspects of children's cultural backgrounds as well as issues of gender and special needs.

Educating Children at Home

With increasing numbers of parents choosing to educate their children at home, an opportunity now exists to explore education outside the school environment. Parents often discover that classroom approaches to teaching and learning do not easily translate into the home. As a result, some radically adjust their approach to educating their children, in some instances virtually abandoning any structured teaching or learning. Focusing on informal learning, this text examines in depth how children can acquire an education simply through everyday experiences. The text sets out to challenge fundamental assumptions about the nature of teaching and learning. Research has been drawn from a wide cross-section of parents from 100 home-educating families.

History & Criticism

Berlin in the 1920s. Franz Biberkopf has just been released from prison after serving four years for violence that resulted in the death of a girlfriend. He returns to his old neighbourhood, Alexanderplatz, vowing to live a decent life. What he finds are unemployment lines, gangsters, prostitutes, petty thieves, and neophyte Nazis. In this sordid world there are new women: devoted Eva, vulnerable young Mieze and the dangerous, near psychotic Reinhold, who befriends him. As Franz struggles to survive, fate teases him with a little luck, a little pleasure, then cruelly turns on him. "Berlin Alexanderplatz" is one of the masterpieces of European literature. The first German novel to adopt the technique of James Joyce, it excited and overwhelmed critics and readers everywhere as it was translated into other languages. One of its greatest admirers was a brilliant young German director. Rainer Fassbinder saw in the novel "a huge part of myself, decisive into determining the course of my life." One of Fassbinder's last projects was an impressive fifteen-hour film version of Berlin Alexanderplatz. Some of the stills from that epic adaptation - remarkably faithful to the Doblin novel - are included here.
