How theories inform our work in the early childhood sector

This free PDF,How theories inform our work in the early childhood sector provides questions relating to theories that cover developmental, sociocultural, practice, critical, and feminist and poststructuralist theories, place-based sciences, as well as ancestral knowledges that inform ways of knowing, being and doing.

The questions prompt you to reflect on which theories you most align with, which prompt you to think more about your pedagogical practices in childcare and which challenge the way you currently work.
