Synopsis

Responding to current debates on the place of play in schools, the authors have extensively revised their groundbreaking book. They explain how and why play is a critical part of children’s development, as well as the central role adults have to promote it. This classic textbook and popular practitioner resource offers systematic descriptions and analyses of the different roles a teacher adopts to support play, including those of stage manager, mediator, player, scribe, assessor, communicator, and planner. This new edition has been expanded to include significant developments in the broadening landscape of early learning and care, such as assessment, diversity and culture, intentional teaching, inquiry, and the construction of knowledge. New for the Second Edition of The Play’s the Thing! Additional theories on the relationship of teachers and children’s play (e.g., Vygotsky and the role of imaginary play and Reggio Emilia’s image of the competent child). Current issues from media content, consumer culture, and environmental concerns. Standards and testing in preschool and kindergarten. Bridging the cultural gap between home and school. Using digital technology to make children’s play visible. Recent brain development research. And much more!
