Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

The updated chapters include information on phonemic awareness and preschool reading, additional references, the latest Perry Preschool research results, recent research relating to brain development, and a complete description of a consistent approach to problem solving. Written for early childhood practitioners and students, this manual presents essential strategies adults can use to make active learning a reality in their programs. Describes key components of the adultï's role: planning the physical setting and establishing a consistent daily routine; creating a positive social climate; and using High/Scopeï's 58 ï'key experiencesï' in child development to understand and support young children. Other topics include family involvement, daily team planning, interest areas, appropriate materials, the plan-do-review process, small- and large-group times. Offers numerous anecdotes, photographs, illustrations, real-life scenarios, and practical suggestions for adults. Reflects High/Scopeï's current research findings and over 30 years of experience.
