Author Description

This revised edition of the original Theories into Practice book aligns with V2.0 of Australia's national Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF). It outlines how effective curriculum and pedagogy are underpinned by evidence-based theories. Educators draw from a range of perspectives, but it can sometimes be difficult to understand the link between theorists, theories and perspectives and their own practices. This book makes these links clear and easy to understand so educators can talk with more authority to colleagues, families and communities about their work, and reflect constructively on their practices. Included in the book is a section on ancestral knowledges, written especially by Kim Kinnear, a proud descendant of Adnyamathanha and Nukunu Community and Country with connections to Maralinga Tjarutja Peoples.
