Introduction
摘要
In this book we collect pedagogical practices from around the world as case studies to show the important work of early childhood teachers. Each country shares unique features of their pedagogical work to show how they support young children’s learning and development, and to work with families and communities. The intention also allows us to document innovative and exemplary practices to build a repertoire of pedagogy and understand cultural and contextual differences. Across the countries, we explore routines, transitions, intentional teaching, shaping the environment, and other important aspects of learning and care. This snapshot also provides opportunities for the development of commonality of practice and to explore variations that exist around supporting young children’s learning and development.
