Product Details


Product Description

Review

"Main strengths of this project: topic on effective teaching for the twenty-first century, portfolio field experience activities provide authentic experiences in the field, and action research provides a vehicle for utilizing the best methods in the classroom." - Audrey Beard, Ed.D., Albany State University, Albany GA --This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.

Book Description

The primary strength of BEGINNINGS AND BEYOND, 8TH EDITION, is its blend of simplicity and depth. In a clear and easy-to-understand style, the book's five sections lay out basic questions any student of early childhood education would want answered. At the same time, the chapters present key concepts, the latest research, and practical examples so that questions are thoroughly answered. Coverage of the current Developmentally Appropriate Practices (DAP) are woven throughout the text and highlighted by new margin icons and DAP footnotes for easy reference. Diversity and development are also integrated throughout the text, enabling readers to understand that issues of age, gender, race/ethnicity, ability, and family are part of every aspect of teaching and learning. Every chapter has an article by an educator that highlights a relevant topic, showing students of early childhood education that there are many authoritative and experienced voices to learn from, both from the past and present. Finally, through its tone, numerous visuals, and carefully crafted pedagogy, the book is accessible to and respectful of readers with a range of abilities and learning styles.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful, Refreshing Child Development Book, Sep 6 2003
By 
John Valdez "HAMMERHEAD" (Bakersfield, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Beginnings & Beyond (Hardcover)
Finally, a book that offers sensible and realistic approaches to child development which departs from "mythical" ideas of past and archaic culture. Luckily, this volume isn't afraid to address the homogenous fallacies that have plagued our society and discusses significantly the exploration of truly modern theories embraced around the world. People of all walks of life, education, and backgrounds will rejoice in an important concept that this book teaches: genuinely nurturing children as opposed to treating them like pets.
