WK5 "The Research in Practice Series" Early Childhood Australia.....

I looked into what Early Childhood Australia does for research and they have what is called Research in Practice Series (RIP). 

The site states, “The Research in Practice Series is a practical, easy-to-read resource, offering effective new approaches for those challenging issues which arise in the care and education of young children. Early Childhood Australia's Research in Practice Series is an essential resource for those involved in the early childhood field. The books are idea-rich and to-the-point. The Research in Practice Series focuses on the practical, 'hands-on' aspects of early childhood – making them ideally suited to early childhood workers. However, the wide range of topics covered throughout the series offers something to anyone interested in children's early years.”

I love the fact that the research page provided book that anyone could purchase and that they are all “idea-rich, to-the-point, and hands-on.”

    I too chose this site to preview and it was very easy to search and understand. Just as you mentioned their books are as well. I like this site, because it leans more to the younger child, which is my preference. Thank you for sharing.

  2. Nina,
    I also chose this site, I was so impressed with the longevity of Australia's focus on Early Childhood, but after reading yours and Victoria's posts I went back to the site and discovered the great resources you two discussed. This is great because at times I feel I have tapped out the resources I get stuck on, I love your description and look forward to ordering "idea rich and hands-on" books.
    Thank you
