Product Description
Review
"The Creative Curriculum® for Preschool is remarkably comprehensive, offering a valuable overview of the theories and research behind the Curriculum, and integrating new developments in the field? The Creative Curriculum for Preschool is indeed one of the most useful tools in our profession, offering ’the big picture’ and a range of specific, practical strategies." - Margie Carter, early childhood college instructor, author, consultant
Product Description
The Creative Curriculum balances both teacher-directed and child-initiated learning, with an emphasis on responding to children's learning styles and building on their strengths and interests. This completely updated new edition of one of the country's leading research-based preschool curricula applies the latest theory and research on best practices in teaching and learning and the content standards developed by states and professional organizations. While keeping the original environmentally-based approach of earlier editions, The Creative Curriculum for Preschool clearly defines the teacher's vital role in connecting content, teaching, and learning for preschool children. It features goals and objectives linked directly to our valid and reliable assessment instrument (The Creative Curriculum Developmental Continuum for Ages 3-5).

An Absolute MUST for any Early Childhood Educator!,
By
This review is from: The Creative Curriculum for Preschool (Paperback)
This book is filled with Developmentally Appropriate Practices for the Early Childhood Educator/Caregiver. From the set up of the room to the reasons for block play, this book covers everything in an easy to read format. I also loved that at the end of the chapters, there were sample letters to parents that explained the importance of the different areas of a preschool/early learning environment. These letters also included ideas that they could use at home.
It is a wonderful tool to go back to again and again.

Disappointed,
This review is from: The Creative Curriculum for Preschool (Hardcover)
I bought this book on September 7, and it just arrived on October 12, though. Greenpoint said it would arrive here in 2-4 weeks.
However, it wasn't the only disappointment I had with them. I thought it was the 5th edition, because when I looked for it on Amazon, it was written "5th edition". Today, when I picked the book, I saw it was the 4th one! I'm really sorry, but I'm really disappointed with them. I don't know if I'm the only one, but if you want to buy something with Greenpoint, please check the other reviews. I hope they will return my money and the shipping cost.

The most comprehensive book about best ECE practice!,
By
This review is from: The Creative Curriculum for Preschool (Paperback)
Although I already had the Creative Curriculum 3rd edition, I was compelled to buy this newer version, the 4th edition, when I heard there was new information. I was not disappointed. The Creative Curriculum is a guide for early childhood classrooms which addresses the environment and learning centers, as well as the role of the teacher. It is compatible with other known practices in early childhood, including the project approach, Reggio Emilia, and emergent curriculum. The book describes the setup and rationale for learning centers from Blocks to Library to outdoors. There are letters and information for parents, assessment and documentation sections. I can't say enough good things about this book!!
