Silence, Voice and Pedagogy Jonathan G. Silin Critical issues in EC…pb 6/7/06 10:30 am Page 1 CRITICAL ISSUES IN EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION "This book is a valuable contribution to the creation of a more critical and theoretically diverse approach to early childhood policy and practice. Through many vivid examples and a varied cast-list of authors, both academics and practitioners, it shows the potential of this approach for pedagogical work in early childhood institutions and the education of the early childhood workforce." Professor Peter Moss, Institute of Education, University of London, UK. “In the era of No Child Left Behind in the U.S., you might think that the landscape of educational research and practice has been transformed into a row of ‘scientific’ models and unvarying curricular scripts. Nicola Yelland's volume will persuade you that, in contrast, the landscape in early childhood education is varied and full of unconventional angles. The authors examine virtually every significant aspect of curricular practice and postmodernist theory, while challenging readers to be skeptics themselves – to engage with risky ideas on the way to transformative actions.” Celia Genishi, Professor of Education, Teachers College, Columbia University, USA. This book challenges long-established beliefs about early childhood education. It offers readers the opportunity to think about those aspects of their profession that are fundamental to providing effective and equitable educational opportunities for young children in the 21st century. Organized in three parts, the book considers: • Contemporary views of early childhood education and teaching • The rethinking of early childhood practices • The emergence of new technologies and multiliteracies Chapters focus on aspects of early childhood education that have for a long time been accepted as truisms, or have been too hard to deal with and thus often ignored. For example, they include a consideration of issues that range from examining play that might be sexual in focus or learning how to cope with traumatic events in young children’s lives, to the ways in which popular culture and new literacies impact on what young YELLAND children are interested in and how they can be engaged in learning with information and communications technology. Nicola Yelland is Professor of Education at Victoria University, Melbourne, Australia. Her previous publications include: Ghosts in the Machine: Women’s voices in research with technology (2002), Promoting Meaningful Learning: Innovations in Educating Early Childhood Professionals (2000) and Gender in Early Childhood (1998).

As a teacher, his main interests are gender and sex- uality, children’s rights, and challenging adult complacency about what ‘child care’ should involve. Yarrow has worked in the early childhood field for ten years and still feels he is just beginning to understand children’s lives. Mindy Blaise is currently a Senior Lecturer in New Learning at RMIT Uni- versity and a Research Fellow at the Centre for Equity and Innovation in Early Childhood Education at Melbourne University. She uses feminist poststruc- turalism and queer theory in her teaching and researching with teachers and young children to uncover the complexities of classroom life. Liz Brooker was an early years teacher in London for many years before mov- ing into postgraduate research and teaching at the Institute of Education, Uni- versity of London. Most of her work has involved an investigation of the ways that education and care systems can contribute to, or combat, the long-term social exclusion of children and young people from disadvantaged groups. Her book, Starting School: Young Children Learning Cultures (Open University Press, 2002), which won the Society for Education Studies’ annual book award for 2003, was based on a study of four-year-old children as they learned in their homes and in their first year of school. More recently, and currently, she has been researching the experiences of teenage parents and young people who have been ‘looked after’ by the local authority. Liz now runs a Master’s programme in Childhood Studies, focusing on children’s rights. Sheralyn Campbell is an early childhood practitioner-researcher, and Fellow at the University of Melbourne, Centre for Equity and Innovation in Early Childhood. Sheralyn has worked in a variety of children’s services as a teacher, policy advisor, manager and mentor. Her PhD research focused on the issues of social justice that were an everyday part of childrens’ lives in an inner urban child care centre. Her most recent work is emerging from a small Australian rural child care centre where she continues to focus on the ‘politics’ of curric- ulum in early childhood settings. In particular, she is concerned with how feminist poststructural theory can be used in practice to disrupt the meanings of gender, ‘race’, class and sexualities that constitute inequities within children’s worlds. x LIST OF CONTRIBUTORS Gaile S. Cannella is Professor of Education in the Division of Curriculum and Instruction in the College of Education at Arizona State University. She is the author of Deconstructing Early Childhood Education: Social Justice and Revolution as well as the 2004 book entitled Childhood and (Post) Colonization: Power, Edu- cation, and Contemporary Practice. She is also the section editor for Childhood and Cultural Studies in the Journal of Curriculum Theorizing. Her professional work focuses on critical qualitative research and cultural studies as related to family, gender, and childhood public policy. Eileen Honan is a Lecturer in Language and Literacy education at Deakin University, Australia. Eileen’s current research interests include creating closer links between the theories and practices of classroom literacy teachers through the use of rhizo-textual analytical techniques, and the introduction of ver- nacular education in Papua New Guinea. She is co-editor (with Annah Healy) of the collection Text Next: New Resources for Literacy Learning. Richard Johnson’s research of late has been related to investigating how the field of cultural studies interpretively impacts children and early childhood/ teacher education programs. Some of this

  • Best of Braunton Walk, North Devon Place to Walk
    Best of Braunton Walk, North Devon Place To Walk Location & Access: The nearby town of Barnstaple acts as a transport hub for the area, and there is a working railway station here that links to Exeter Central and Exeter St Davids. Public buses run from Barnstaple to Braunton (Route 21 to Ilfracombe). There are numerous car parks in Braunton, and this walk starts from the Caen Street Car Park in the centre of the village (grid ref: SS 487 366). Other car parks can be found at Velator Quay (grid ref: SS 484 354) and at Broadsands (grid ref: SS 467 327). Photo: Paul Berry Key Geography: One of only three examples of an open field farm system left in England, Braunton Burrows UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, marshland reclamation scheme, Crow Point spit, theTaw estuary, river management at Velator. Description: This seven-mile walk over flat relief gives a taste of three imposing landscape features next to the village of Braunton in north Devon. These are: Braunton Marsh, an area of wet pasture reclaimed in the 19th century, Braunton Burrows, one of England's largest areas of sand dunes and the Braunton Great Field, one of only three such examples of open field farming in England surviving from the medieval period. The walk starts at the Caen Street Car Park in the centre of Braunton (grid ref: SS 487 366). Leave the car park entrance and turn left, almost immediately crossing the river Caen. Turn left into Caen Field immediately after the river, and continue to the stone bridge. The River Caen has Its source to the north of village, and was Braunton’s important link to the sea in the early days.

    TAW AND TORRIDGE ESTUARY CHURCHES Parish Profile, Role Description and Person Specification for the post of Incumbent A new challenge in this beautiful part of North Devon The three ecclesiastical parishes of Fremington, Instow and Westleigh came together in 2010 to form a Mission Community, now called Taw and Torridge Estuary Churches. We are a United Benefice in the Exeter Diocese, formed of one large and two small village communities along the Taw and Torridge estuary, located between the towns of Barnstaple and Bideford. Following early retirement due to ill-health, we are looking to appoint a new Incumbent. In the pages which follow we hope you will find all the information you need to determine whether this appointment is attractive to you, and whether God may be calling you to lead us forward in ministry and mission. 1 CONTENTS Page Archdeacon’s Foreword 3 Introducing our Mission Community 4 Our Vision, Strengths and Challenges 4 The Person we are looking for 6 Fremington, Bickington and East Yelland 7 Instow and West Yelland 14 Westleigh 18 Ministry across the Mission Community 19 Find out more 21 Appendices: Individual Parish Annual Reports and Accounts 2 ARCHDEACON’S FOREWORD If you want to serve in congregations which have a good foundation, but great potential to grow and to develop further, then Fremington, Westleigh and Instow could be the place for you. Already the Gospel is being preached and shared in these parishes, but there is much more which could be developed.
