Details:
In New Zealand, the 20th century was a time of great change in early years education. As the century opened, the use of Friedrich Froebel's kindergarten methods infiltrated more infant classrooms. The emergence of psychology as a discipline - and especially its work on child development - was beginning to influence thinking about how infants learn through play. While many teachers maintained Victorian approaches in their classrooms, other educators experimented with new approaches and some even travelled to the US and Europe in order to bring new ideas home. As well, there was increasing political support for new approaches to the 'new education' ideas at the turn of the century. All was not plain sailing, however, and this book charts both the progress made and the obstacles that were overcome in the course of the century as New Zealand battled its way through world wars and depressions. The book discusses changes in school buildings, teaching practices, teacher education, the teaching of reading and other curriculum areas, Maori education, and the emergence of kohanga reo (the Maori language revival movement). It also presents a range of individuals, including C.E. Beeby, Sylvia Ashton-Warner, Gwen Somerset, Don Holdaway, Elwyn Richardson, Marie Bell, Marie Clay, and other significant people who worked in or influenced early years education.

Amazing product at a reasonable price
Size: 128 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This stuff is incredibly versatile! I use it for anything inside the car to clean it. The best part is it doesn’t leave any sort of greasy residue at all and it wipes off extremely clean. You will not be sorry whatsoever if you purchase this. I’d recommend using a brush in areas that need a little bit more work as this suds up very nice and becomes a good cleaning solution!

The best interior product
Size: 128 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I am a Turo host and I buy this in bulk because it is the best interior cleaner! All purpose and works on every surface I’ve come across. It has a very light smell to it, but it’s pleasant and just smells clean.

Sturdy and secure
It took a few tries to get it positioned exactly as i wanted it but once that was done it hasn't moved. I have a Samsung s25fe phone with a case and it fits just fine. Seems secure. It does shake slightly while driving on bumpy roads but it doesn't move positions and I don't feel like my phone is going to fall. So far it's been great.

Quality cell phone mount.
The best cell phone mount I ever used. Quality is obvious after you easily install. This hasn’t moved since I placed it in my car. I like that it doesn’t block the air vent too. (You can move any angle you like). Won’t disappoint! Good buy!
