Wednesday, January 30, 2002

The Scottish Executive has commissioned Professor Colwyn Trevarthen, professor of child psychology at the University of Edinburgh, to lead a team of academics carrying out a review into what makes a quality care and learning experience for children aged under three. The study was due to be completed by the end of January and Professor Trevarthen's team will be exchanging information with a team at Manchester Metropolitan University, who have been commissioned by the Department for Education and Skills to investigate good practice with under-threes. This study is one of several discussed in Early Years' Matters, the new newsletter from Learning and Teaching Scotland, which is available online at http://www.ltscotland. com/earlyyears/eymatters/ and aims to keep practitioners informed about the most recent early years developments in Scotland.
