reputation as an academic working in the field of early childhood
education. He has an enviable publications record and his texts are
widely used in early childhood teacher education courses. One of his

childhood curriculum and teaching, which was the focus of his Keynote

Prescolaire) conference held in Singapore in 1999. |

involvement with staff in the School of Early Childhood had a significant
influence on the achievement of the School’s goal of extending
its research focus on Australian curriculum and teaching development.
