The guy who is putting this together asked for more names to be added...we did suggest some of the 'living' and contemporary theorists such as Tina Bruce (play), Chris Athey who died very recently (schemas) and Lilian Katz

Hopefully he can add them although he says lots of the info on them is hidden behind a 'paywall'...
there he lost me!!

Missing from that list is Maslow and his 'Hierarchy of needs'
Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs and diagrams of Maslow's motivational theory - pyramid diagrams of Maslow's theory

Bronfenbrenner 'Ecological system theory'...so pertinent to EY

How about Daniel Goleman and 'Emotional intelligence'?
Emotional Intelligence theories - Daniel Goleman's EQ concepts

what is your favourite theorist? why?
which theory do you use the most in your setting?

Lets get this conversation going so we can get away from Ofsted and Truss for a while!!
