New Pen Green Book; Studying for an Early Childhood Degree

We are immensely proud and excited to officially launch the new Pen Green Publication – Studying for an Early Childhood Degree; Using inspirations from Pen Green to achieve outstanding results. The book has been produced in collaboration with current and former students and features extracts of excellent assignments written through Levels 4-7.

Studying for an Early Childhood Degree, based on the practices of The Pen Green Centre for children and families, exemplifies how student-practitioners can foster strong communities of learners and create student-teacher connections that remain long after studies are complete.

The Pen Green Integrated Centre in Corby, UK, has developed a unique approach to adult education. Highly qualified tutors, with their wide-ranging experiences, have written Studying for an Early Childhood Degree in collaboration with current and former students. It illustrates different ways to complete assignments, providing 20 case-studies of work that achieved an excellent grade from students of different professional, geographical, ethnic, educational and socio-economic backgrounds; it also explores the rationale behind what contributed to these excellent final grades. Each chapter, linked to the key themes of the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) Early Childhood Studies degree, includes discussions, reflections, commentary and extracts from students’ works through Levels 4-7, as well as suggestions for further reading.

Studying for an Early Childhood Degree is an essential read for learners as well as educators and practitioners. It will be a key resource for students having varied learning needs, professional heritages, writing styles and interests. Further, it will also support other educators to consider the unique and often competing demands of being an adult in higher education.

A huge congratulations to all involved – we hope you enjoy reading ⭐

Available for pre-order on 6th April – despatched from 27th April.
