| Book Description | This book argues that supporting a child’s learning in primary school is more about nurturing their dispositions than continually assessing their performance. Drawing on the latest research in the fields of child development, psychology, health and well-being, it shows how teachers and parents have a deep impact on children’s learning, motivation and potential and the practices that offer children the best opportunities for future success.Guided by the holistic approaches of the Nurturing Childhoods Pedagogical Framework and the ABCs of Developing Engagement, this book has a strong focus on increasing child engagement alongside methods to consider the impact of learning experiences. Chapters cover:Supporting engagement through communication, movement and playHelping children to feel safe and secure within their learning environmentsDeveloping classrooms where children think and express themselvesUnderstanding childhood anxietyNurturing confidence and self-motivationWorking with parents and carersAnxiety within the classroomWays of evaluating teaching styles and class dynamicsDecoding children’s behavioursPart of the Nurturing Childhoods series, this exciting book provides teachers, practitioners and parents with the knowledge and understanding they need to nurture children’s happiness, well-being and sense of security throughout their school years. |
