The Education Hub’s Dr Vicki Hargraves joins Nina Hood to talk about some of the key ideas emerging from recent early childhood research and how this research can inform teachers’ practice. She also offers insights into how teachers can navigate and engage with the wealth of information available on The Education Hub, identify areas of focus, and apply research evidence to make changes and improvements in their own practice.
