About this title

Synopsis

A new edition of the teacher's manual for developing self-directed "learning environments" for preschool children and facilitating the children's development through observation and support. Beaty (Professor Emerita, Elmira College) describes how to set up "centers" in the classroom, activities to support specific development, and observation techniques based on blocks, computers, manipulative/math, books, writing, art, music, science, dramatic play, and large motor. The second edition emphasizes more computer, reading, and math skills. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

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
