Items related to Preschool: Appropriate Practices
"Preschool Appropriate Practices, 3rd Edition" uses the creative approach, let the learning environment do the teaching, and speaks to college students as well as teachers in the field with practical applications based on current research. Each chapter is based on one of the learning centers in a preschool classroom, allowing college students and teachers alike to learn how to set up these centers in a self-directed environment. This approach encourages children 3-to-5-years old to become deeply involved in their own learning. A second important theme, let the teacher be a facilitator of learning, assists readers in their understanding of: how to observe children's developmental levels, what developmentally appropriate activities to provide, how to serve as a behavior model in these centers, and how best to support children in their learning. Readers learn how to determine children's developmental levels of manipulation, mastery, and meaning by observing their interactions with materials and one another. As the book title suggests, these activities integrate with the National Association for the Education of Young Children's (NAEYC) developmentally appropriate practice (DAP), a nationally recommended set of early childhood practices.

Review:
"The authors' writing style is excellent. I want to commend the author on capturing the joy and excitement of working with young children. The text is actually enjoyable to read. That's no small feat. Most early childhood education textbooks are dry and overly technical. This manuscript is user friendly and provides teachers will the knowledge and tools to create an effective child-directed environment." - Debby Everett, Early Childhood Education Instructor, Yuba College, California
