Description
About the Book
A curriculum framework for reflective teaching that maximizes the amazing capacities of young children.Book Synopsis
Offering an alternative approach to standardization and data-driven mandates, this book puts children at the center of planning your curriculum. Rather than a prescriptive curriculum, by using The Thinking Lens(R) protocol, teachers can translate educational theories into concrete ideas for working with children and families. Learn to create a welcoming classroom culture, develop routines for self-regulation, and use Learning Stories to enhance experiences for the children in your care.
This book has been updated to examine how to work with mandated curriculum, rating scales, and assessment tools, while practicing reflective teaching.
