Global Perspectives of Early Childhood Education: Valuing Local Cultures by Naom

The Nile on eBay   Global Perspectives of Early Childhood Education by Naomi McLeod, Emem Effiong Okon, Diane Garrison, Diane Boyd, Angela Daly

This textbook takes an innovative approach to international perspectives. Rather than focussing on themes with a limited number of comparative case studies throughout as the key competitors do, this proposal is split into two halves which I believe will provide students with a more in-depth knowledge of education in other countries. While the first half of the book covers a range of chapters which are case studies on different countries contributed by experts who live and/ or research there, the second half offers a coverage of key themes in ECE which are often covered on international modules and across degrees.

Naomi McLeod is at Liverpool John Moores University and teaches across Early Childhood and Education Studies. Her research focuses on working creatively and respectfully 'with' people to promote young children's participation and agency, through critical reflection as a tool for continued professional development for transformational change. This focus and the importance of listening has informed her most current research, involving engaging respectfully and reflexively to appreciate and understand the rich heritage of indigenous customs and traditions associated with early learning across the world. Collectively, this has provoked her interest in the interconnected nature of education for sustainability in early childhood.Emem Okon obtained her MA and PhD both in Early Childhood Education, from Liverpool Hope University in the UK.
