Meaningful Curriculum for Young Children, with Enhanced Pearson EText -- Access Card Package by Sherry Nolte and Eva Moravcik (2017, Trade Paperback / Mixed Media)
Designed to help readers understand the content and processes involved in curriculum that has intellectual integrity and that celebrates young children, Meaningful Curriculum for Young Children, 2e is comprehensive, practical, and readable. It is unique in that it combines a child-centered, child-friendly approach with a focus on meaningful subject area and field-tested content. In this, it demonstrates intellectual integrity and sensitivity to children while supplying practical resources for providing educational support to children. KEY TOPICS: The book begins with three chapters that give an overview of early childhood curriculum, planning, and curriculum integration. The remainder of the book consists of 12 chapters focusing on curriculum in four domains: physical (large motor, fine motor, sensory), creative arts (art, music, creative movement), communication (language, literacy, literature), and inquiry (math, science, and social studies). Each chapter explores the value of the curriculum area, describes its relationship to child development, explains the theory, structure and content of the discipline, and clarifies its connection to early learning standards. A discussion of ways to teach each subject through play in a planned environment, teacher-child interaction, and planned activities is included in each chapter. An example of a planned activity, a week's plan, and an example of the curriculum area in an integrated study is included in every chapter. Finally, there is a brief section that gives an example of how children with special needs can be included in this curriculum area and addresses considerations for working with primary school age children. MARKET: For preservice and inservice teachers studying curriculum for early childhood education
