✦ Synopsis

Appropriate for undergraduate courses on curriculum methods in early childhood and primary grade education. This text uses the most current interpretations and applications of classic theories as a basis for understanding how to develop early childhood curriculum and instruction for children ages 0-8. The author stresses the need for readers to understand the foundations of their programs prior to developing and using quality curriculum and teaching. Known for its solid theoretical focus and child-centered approach, it serves as a specific guide to implement a quality program in early childhood classrooms. With its chronological approach from infancy through Grade 3, this text directly ties curriculum to the understanding of child development. Changes to the fourth edition include the addition of instructional strategies for meeting standards, expanded content on integrating the curriculum, and a focus on balanced literacy.
