It provides a comprehensive, cohesive approach to curriculum development, which results in greater continuity for children and practitioners in group settings in childcare, preschool, and the early elementary grades. This best-selling text addresses all aspects of classroom life, including the roles of children and adults, the physical and social environments, and teaching and learning within multiple domains for children age three to eight. Concentrating as much on the “how” of curriculum development as on the “what and why,” the authors provide practical, research-based guidelines for translating theory into best practice that accommodates age-appropriateness, individual differences, and social and cultural diversity. Students learn how to conceptualize, plan, implement, and evaluate curriculum through detailed application opportunities in each chapter.New Features to this Edition include:Assignable activities online at MyEducationLab are meaningfully integrated into each chapter, with margin notes referring to video
Trumps Peterson's Book By An Edge Due To Balanced Presentation Once again, Prentice Hall displays why it remains a superforce in creating textbooks: its balanced and accessible research-based comprehensiveness. As with my first Chemistry book in high school, I believe this book possesses everything you will need to know about early childhood curriculum.The former champion, in my opinion,--Evelyn Peterson's A PRACTICAL GUIDE OT EARLY CHILDHOOD CURRICULUM--gets bested here because this text presents, in a well-understood way, what Peterson's book also did well: present pratical explanations. This texts gets the slight edge because the authors ably worked in all the research and citations r. love teaching said definitely a must have. Whether you are a seasoned educator just being initiated to the DAP concept, or a student just beginning to savor the taste of the classroom world, this book is a must for your library. There is no element of early childhood education that DAP does not touch. Strategies of teaching and learning, activities and routines, the physical environment, classroom management, family evolvement, and assessment procedures are all enfluenced by the principles of age, individual, or social appropriateness!. Sam said Great Book. This book is a very well written book that contains relevant information regarding early childhood. I found it to be a great resource for anyone to use as a reference in dealing with children. Information is based on the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) standards, is up to date, valid and reliable.
