This book provides an accessible introduction to schemas. Schemas are a vitally important element in young children's learning, and this book has been designed to help practioners recognise them, value them and help children use them as they build their understanding of the world.
Sally Featherstone has a wealth of experience as a teacher, head
teacher and a local authority advisor and inspector. In recent
years, alongside her activities in publishing, Sally has continued
to build a national reputation as a trainer and consultant in the
Primary and Early Years field.
Stella Louis is an early years consultant and trainer for the
London Borough of Southwark. While working as a nursery nurse in
1991, she attended a lecture on block play by Professor Tina Bruce.
It was during this lecture that Stella was introduced to the
concept of schemas as a tool to inform planning, provision and
observations of babies and young children. Schemas fascinated
Stella as she watched her own child, Hannah-Louise, grow explore
and develop. In 2002 Stella completed an MA in Early Childhood
Education. The introductory sections of this book have been based
on Stella’s work, whose idea the book was.
