Publisher's Synopsis
This thoughtful collection of a teacher's stories and reflections demonstrates the many ways you can encourage children's creative experiences, learning, and development.Visions of Creativity in Early Childhoodbrings together a variety of theories and influences—including Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences, Reggio Emilia, and emergent curriculum—and practical applications to inspire meaningful learning in your classroom. Each chapter explores a dimension of early learning—visual and aesthetic, musical and rhythmic, kinesthetic, mathematical and logical, naturalist, linguistic, interpersonal, and intrapersonal—and challenges you to seek out teachable moments, grow as an educator, and encourage children as they learn in an environment where the possibilities for creative discovery are endless.
