Full Description
Help future teachers create the best programs for young children ages three through eight
Developmentally Appropriate Curriculum: Best Practices in Early Childhood Education is an all-in-one guide that brings together everything pre-service teachers need to implement an integrated, developmental approach to curriculum-based instruction.
The 7th Edition addresses all aspects of classroom life-conceptualization, planning, implementation, and evaluation-for children ages three through eight. This comprehensive, cohesive approach emphasizes the "how" of curriculum development, as well as the "what and why." With practical, research-based guidelines, sample activities and lesson plans for each curriculum domain, and a focus on teaching methods, readers have the tools they need to translate theory into age-appropriate practice that accommodates individual, social, and cultural differences.
