Making Theories Visible

Thinking-with theories in everyday practice

Available early October 2026.

Everyday practices and events often require educators to engage in complex interactions and respond ‘in the moment’. Making Theories Visible - Thinking-with theories in everyday practice highlights the importance of thinking-with theories as part of everyday work with children, families and colleagues. It shows how everyday practices can be understood using a range of theories that educators are familiar with. Through the case studies, educators can see how to think-with theories as part of their daily work, understanding that one event or observation can be viewed from several theoretical perspectives at the same time.
