This book provides insight into the everyday activities co-produced by teachers and young children, demonstrating the fine details of teaching and learning as knowledge is shared through the everyday activities of talk-in-interaction. Adopting an ethnomethodological perspective, together with conversation analysis and membership categorisation analysis, it reveals how teaching and learning are jointly accomplished during activities such as pretend play episodes, during disputes, managing illness and talking about the environment. Through in-depth studies of child-teacher interactions, the book explores the means by which knowledge is transferred and episodes of teaching and learning are co-constructed by participants, shedding light on the co-production of social order, the communication of knowledge and manner in which professional and relational identities are made relevant in interaction. As such, Conversation Analysis and Early Childhood Education will be of interest not only to scholars of ethnomethodology and conversation analysis, but also to those working in the areas of early childhood studies and pedagogy.

"Reading the essays in TIE DYE TUESDAY is like reading Bateman's personal diary. She fuses her fears of adulthood with her own struggles as both a camp counselor and a college student. She captures the camper in all of us." - Rob Spadafore THE SILVER BIN At eighteen years old, Amanda Bateman applied to be a counselor at a Girl Scout camp in Western Pennsylvania. For the next four years, instead of looking for internships or working a part time job, she canoes, eats chicken fingers, and fights raccoons. Tie Dye Tuesday is a reflection of what those years as a counselor as well as what camping with her family has made her believe about family, friendship, and herself. It is a memoir of the summers between her four years in college and trying to grow up while being paid to act like a kid.
