"Wow! A Great Resource For Teachers!" according to Teacher,Student. I am a young veteran teacher with much to learn. "Early Education Curriculum" covers a lot of what I learned in Ed School and much more that I learned in the classroom. This book demonstrates the wisdom and knowledge of the author, Hilda Jackman, and offers the new or veteran educator a fresh perspective on the art and science of early childhood education.Another book that I read during this holiday break is "Behavior Coaching" by Dr. Scott E. Hall from the University of Dayton and Matt Pasquinilli. "Early Education Curriculum" lays out all the basics of how to prepare for your classroom, what to teach, when to teach what, etc . A Thorough Overview of MOST Early Childhood Subjects Even though I would recommend Kostelnik, Soderman, and Whiren's DEVELOPMENTALLY APPROPRIATE CURRICULUM as the best text for early childhood students, Jackson's book shines in its in-depth look at the classic subjects through an early childhood lens.The first section, which is made up of an intro to the concept of developmentally appropriate practice (DAP) and the basics of curriculum creation, is delightfully short. Much of this information should be covered in the intro early childhood class, so it puts much relief on the teacher when he or she can somewhat breeze through these essentials in a class or two. Chapter 2 in partic. Offers cutting-edge topics ranging from teacher tips for seasonal literacy projects EARLY EDUCATION CURRICULUM: A CHILD'S CONNECTION TO THE WORLD offers cutting-edge topics ranging from teacher tips for seasonal literacy projects to developing outdoors curriculum for challenged children and using music, movement and puppets for excitement. Packed with specific projects, options and tips, this is an early education classic no education library should be without.
New research, perspectives in the field, and issues of new mandated standards are covered. Early Education Curriculum: A Child's Connection to the World, 4th edition, focuses on the process of planning and implementing curriculum across all content areas, for children from infancy to age 8. This edition introduces a bind- in- book CD- Rom that contains new activity plans, lesson plans, assessment forms, curriculum webs, room arrangements, and puppet patterns, as well as a four- color insert on outdoor play.
