Challenging Early LearningJames Nottingham and Jill Nottingham

What are the goals of Early Years education? A lot of people ask this question and receive answers ranging from keeping children safe; introducing them to the values of society; encouraging a love of language; giving them experience of socialising, harmonising and behaving appropriately. This book shares the best strategies to help children grow into even more curious, resilient, happy, articulate and thoughtful learners.

Challenging Early Learning takes James Nottingham’s tried and tested and acclaimed ‘learning to learn’ methodology and applies it to teaching three- to seven-year-olds. Each chapter includes:• Colourful and stimulating learning activities that will help

children learn how to learn.• Practical ‘Now Try This’ sections that encourage readers to

think about current practice and explore new ideas.• A Review section that focuses on building a broad tool kit of

teaching strategies.

Covering a range of key topics such as feedback, dialogue, growth mindset and the Learning Pit, this book is aimed at all pedagogues, teachers, parents and leaders wanting to challenge the way in which we learn and make learning more challenging.

Jack’s life is pretty good - he has brilliant friends, everyone loves his funny jokes and he’s a great inventor. But things are getting complicated.

Something really scary has also happened to his mum and it’s going to take all of Jack’s courage to deal with it.

Being JackSusanne Gervay

Being Jack is the fourth and concluding book about Jack - an ordinary boy who does extraordinary things. Jack still loves photography, surfing, and his crazy family, and things are going well until he notices that his best friend Christopher is starting to miss school and hiding out and avoiding everyone. And when a soccer game turns ugly, Jack knows that, again, the bullying has to stop.

Jack is full of heart. And readers see themselves in the Jack books.

Susanne Gervay knows how to make kids laugh, and think, and ask questions - of themselves and others. She writes book kids need to read. So Being Jack, is not just a book that will make kids feel comforted - it’s a book that will show them the way towards taking responsibility. Towards standing up for themselves, and others.

Super JackSusanne Gervay

Families are made up in all sorts of way, and it takes a holiday for Jack and his stepbrother Leo to work out their differences.

Growing up Aboriginal in AustraliaAnita Heiss

What is it like to grow up Aboriginal in Australia? This anthology, compiled by award-winning author Anita Heiss, attempts to showcase as many diverse voices, experiences and stories as possible in order to answer that question. Each account reveals, to some degree, the impacts of invasion and colonisation – on language, on country, on ways of life, and on how people are treated daily in the community, the education system, the workplace and friendship groups.

Boys don’t Try?Matt Pinkett & Mark Roberts

There is a significant problem in our schools: too many boys are struggling. The list of things to concern teachers is long. Disappointing academic results, a lack of interest in studying, higher exclusion rates, increasing mental health issues, sexist attitudes, an inability to express emotions… Traditional ideas about masculinity are having a negative impact, not only on males, but females too. In this ground-breaking book, Matt Pinkett and Mark Roberts argue that schools must rethink their efforts to get boys back on track.

Kicking Goals with Goodesy and MagicAnita Heiss

AFL legends Adam Goodes and Michael O’Loughlin are blood brothers and great mates. They are also two of the best footballers ever to play for the Sydney Swans. Between them, they played over 650 games and kicked over 900 goals.

But what were Goodesy and Magic like when they were kids? What kind of scrapes did they get into at school? And what was it like to go from being normal teenagers to AFL superstars?

Early Childhood Matters: Evidence from the Effective Pre-school and Primary Education ProjectEdmund Melhuish (et al)

The Case for Make BelieveSusan Linn

A book with immediate relevance for parents and educators alike, The Case for Make Believe helps readers understand how crucial child’s play is—and what parents and educators can do to protect it. At the heart of the book are stories of children at home, in school, and at a therapist’s office playing about real-life issues from entering kindergarten to a sibling’s death, expressing feelings they can’t express directly, and making meaning of an often confusing world.

Consuming KidsSusan Linn

In Consuming Kids, psychologist Susan Linn takes a comprehensive and unsparing look at the demographic advertisers call “the kid market,” taking readers on a compelling and disconcerting journey through modern childhood as envisioned by commercial interests. Children are now the focus of a marketing maelstrom, targets for everything from minivans to M&M counting books: All aspects of children’s lives—their health, education, creativity, and values—are at risk of being compromised by their status in the marketplace.

The Learning Power ApproachGuy Claxton

Learning is learnable! Educators can explicitly teach positive learning attitudes and habits of mind. Guy Claxton’s powerful resource will help teachers understand how ‘every lesson, every day’ shapes the way students see themselves as learners. This important work helps us notice ‘what lies beneath’ the surface of our teaching and attend closely to the way we shape dispositions and attitudes.

Written by a renowned cognitive scientist, this book offers a set of design principles for strengthening students’ learning muscles.

Life Long KindergardenMitchel Resnick

Drawing on experiences from more than thirty years at MIT’s Media Lab, Resnick discusses new technologies and strategies for engaging young people in creative learning experiences. He tells stories of how children-are programming their own games, stories, and inventions, and-collaborating through remixing, crowdsourcing, and large-scale group projects. By providing young people with opportunities to work on projects,-based on their passions, we can help them prepare for a world where creative thinking is more important than-ever before.

Powering up ChildrenGuy Claxton & Becky Carlzon

Guy Claxton and Becky Carlzon harness the design principles of the Learning Power Approach to provide a rich resource of effective teaching strategies for use in the primary school classroom.

The LPA is a pedagogical formula which aims to develop all pupils as confident and capable learners - ready, willing and able to choose, design, research, pursue, troubleshoot and evaluate learning for themselves, alone and with others, in school and out. This approach therefore empowers teachers to complement their delivery of content, knowledge and skills with the nurturing of positive habits of mind that will better prepare students to flourish in later life.

Intentional Leadership for Effective InclusionMary Moloney & Eucharia McCarthy

This book recognises diverse manifestations of special educational needs, from communication difficulties and delays in learning, to social and physical disabilities, and considers the ways in which these needs might be embraced within inclusive mainstream settings. Key to this is robust and purposeful leadership that removes barriers to learning, changes existing attitudes and values, motivates staff and foregrounds holistic learning opportunities and experiences.

Early Childhood StudiesDamien Fitzgerald & Heloise Maconochie

Student-focused and designed to enhance critical thinking, this new core textbook is mapped to early childhood degrees with a focus on seeing children in the context of the word they live in. It sees the child as developing within the context of the family, community and broader social and cultural environment. The material comes alive with full colour features, clearly marked key terms and additional online resources.

Early Education for a New Era   Stacie G Goffin

Early Childhood Education for a New Era confronts the disparity between the field’s potential contributions to children’s learning and development and its occupational competence to achieve them. It burros under the identity and leadership question of “What defines and bounds early care and education as a field of practice?” to better understand why this question still lingers. It elevates as an obligation the field’s need to change its collective performance and lifts up the transformational opportunity provided by organising ECE as a professional field of practice.
