Learning and Teaching in Early Childhood: Pedagogies of Inquiry and Relationships is an introduction for early childhood educators beginning their studies. Reflecting the fact that there is no single correct approach to the challenges of teaching, this book explores teaching through two lenses: teaching as inquiry and teaching as relating. The first part of the book focuses on inquiry, covering early childhood learning environments, learning theories, play pedagogies, approaches to teaching and learning, documentation and assessment, and the policy, curriculum and regulatory requirements in Australia. The second part explores relationships in early childhood contexts and covers topics such as fostering meaningful and respectful relationships with children, and working with families, staff and the wider community. Written by well-respected academics in the field, Learning and Teaching in Early Childhood is a vital resource for those entering the early childhood education and care profession.

Spelling can be a source of anxiety for school children and working professionals alike. Yet the spelling of words in English is not as random or chaotic as it is often perceived to be; rather, it is a system based on both meaning and a fascinating linguistic history. Misty Adoniou's public articles on the processes of teaching and learning spelling have garnered an overwhelming response from concerned parents and teachers looking for effective solutions to the problems they face in teaching English spelling to children. Spelling It Out, Revised edition aims to ease anxiety and crush the myth that good spelling comes naturally. Good spelling comes from good teaching. Based on Misty Adoniou's extensive research into spelling learning and instruction, this book encourages children and adults to nurture a curiosity about words, discover their history and, in so doing, understand the logic behind the way they are spelled.

Incorporating digital technologies in the classroom can be both a daunting and exciting experience for educators of all age groups. Supporting Innovative Pedagogies with Digital Technologies explores intentional teaching approaches for using digital technologies in the classroom as a tool to support rather than replace established strategies. Readers will learn how to innovate their classroom, and vignettes from Early Childhood, Primary and Secondary classrooms will remove the overwhelming pressure of redesigning learning and teaching from scratch. Over three parts, the text explores understanding learning and teaching with digital technologies; designing and enacting learning with digital technologies; and professional responsibilities for teaching with digital technologies. Each chapter includes vignettes to illustrate key ideas and prompt discussion, reflection activities to encourage critical thinking and inspire educators to use key ideas in their practice, 'Tips and tricks' to provide practical hints and expert guidance for future consideration, and review questions to consolidate understanding.
