A practical guide to inquiry-based learning through Floorbooks

By
Claire Warden

Planning with and for Children offers clear guidance on how to make adult interaction, including questioning skills, part of good practice. It incorporates key features of a Floorbook and sets out step-by-step guides to using 3D mapping. Designed to encourage a greater emphasis on inquiry-based thinking/project approach, the book shows how learning tracks can link play and learning inside, outside and beyond in case studies. Ideal for 3 to 7 year-olds, it also supports the use of Talking Tubs to engage all children in child-led planning.

Ages: 3-6 | Pages: 100 | Code: TS0312 | ISBN: 9781925145434
