A must read for any ECE teacher or instructor!, Jan 3 2008
By M. Cavalca "ECE Master Teacher" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Learning Together with Young Children (Paperback)
Feeling stuck in the rut, burned out, disillusioned, under-challenged as a teacher of young children or teacher & mentor of other teachers -- well, this book sure is cheaper than therapy! And likely a darn sight more fun too! I could hardly put it down when it finally was delivered. I've had mine about a week and I'm nearly finished with it. What I have read is already covered it notes of all kinds -- ideas for my preschool classroom; ideas for working with my colleagues; ideas for working with parents; ideas for working with interns, observers and assistants in my classroom; ideas for working on and with yourself; ideas for teaching a college course with a colleague and friend that goes beyond the usual "how to" or "make your life easier" curriculum class but rather truly integrates theory & practice and turns teachers into thinkers and researchers. This book is full of inspirations, questions and reflections of all kinds! Run to your nearest bookstore now or let your fingers to the walking!

Absolutely beautiful, Jan 6 2008

If you loved Designs for Living and Learning, you are going to love this book as much or even more. Filled with beautifully written examples of curriculum emerging in ordinary circumstances. Each example is like a little gem, to be looked over, thought about, and looked over again.
A MUST-read for anyone working with our youngest learners and discoverers; it will make you excited to go to work tomorrow morning.
