How we can help get it right for boys in the Early Years

Produktbeschreibung

The problem of boys' underachievement is an issue across the entire developed world and has presented teachers and early years practitioners with challenges as well as opportunities. Only in Scandinavia do boys achieve at roughly the same rate as girls and there they don't start school formally until they are seven.

The underachievement of boys continues to be high on the government agenda. For many boys in this country and elsewhere, the demands made upon them in the Early Years to read and write, before they are emotionally and physically ready to do so, can give many an early taste of failure from which many of them never fully recover. This book will address the issues that impact on achievement.

Autorenporträt

Linda Tallent was for many years an early years teacher. In this role she was involved in the early identification of children with special educational needs. She worked in collaboration with the local I CAN nursery to ensure that children with speech, language and communication needs succeeded within the school. Her knowledge of child development and early years practice enabled her to support and suggest strategies to help teachers through out the primary school to integrate children who had a range of additional needs. In recent years she has worked in Gateshead as a Primary Teaching and Learning consultant, providing advice, support and training both locally and nationally to early years practitioners, senior managers and local authority officers. She has worked with the Primary Teaching and Learning consultant for SEN and written a booklet called Curriculum Access to Literacy and Maths (CALM). This is used by teachers in Gateshead to support the inclusion into mainstream schools of children with special needs.
