About this publication
Teaching Grade R promotes a participatory and child-centred approach to learning, based on a pedagogy of play that positions the children as active learners and encourages teachers to become critically reflective practitioners. This pedagogy of play is explained in detail in the book, and suggestions and pointers are given as to how this pedagogy can be used in classroom practice.
This second edition includes:
Updated theories and debates in relation to child development and insights gained through neuroscience
Alternative constructions of children, both from a sociological and in particular an African perspective, have been considered
A new section on self-care of the teacher
The inclusion of the environment as the third teacher
A further exploration of alternative informal assessment approaches, including pedagogical documentation
