Publisher's Synopsis
This book is appropriate for curriculum development courses in both early childhood education and elementary education.
Promoting the idea of teachers as reflective practitioners, rather than managers of time and activities, this reader-friendly book takes an integrated, research-based approach to the early childhood (ages 4-8) curriculum. With its conversational style, the text is immediately engaging as it promotes developmentally appropriate practices that encompass the diverse interests, abilities, and backgrounds of all learners. This book captures the spirit and the fundamental, practical application of a child-sensitive approach to curriculum development, delivery, and assessment.
