In this new book, the authors outline the philosophy behind Learning Stories and call on the latest findings from the research projects they have led with teachers on learning dispositions and learning power to argue that Learning Stories can construct learner identities in early childhood settings and schools. By making the connection between sociocultural approaches to pedagogy and assessment and narrative inquiry, this book contextualizes learning stories as a philosophical approach to education, learning and pedagogy.  \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapters explore how Learning Stories: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\" help make connections with families;\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\" support the inclusion of children and family voices;\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\" tell us stories about babies;\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\" allow children to dictate their own stories;\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\" can be used to revisit children′s learning journeys;\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\" can contribute to teaching and learning wisdom.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis ground-breaking book expands on the concept of Learning Stories, and includes examples from practice in both New Zealand and the UK.
