Just What ECE's Need,
By
This review is from: A Practical Guide to Early Childhood Curriculum: Linking Thematic, Emergent, and Skill-Based Planning to Children's Outcomes (2nd Edition) (Paperback)
I used this book in an ECE Curriculum Development and Techniques course while earning my MA. I found the information relevant, specific and easy to read. It was not overwhelming with un-heard-of concepts and it was very current in the theories and ideas presented. I would recommend this book to teachers, daycare providers and homeschoolers who are looking to improve their knowledge of integrated curriculum, and those who develop their own curriculum as a guideline book to being successful.

Great Practically Written Book,

This review is from: A Practical Guide to Early Childhood Curriculum: Linking Thematic, Emergent, and Skill-Based Planning to Children's Outcomes (2nd Edition) (Paperback)
I used this book in my early childhood curriculum class while earning my masters. After reading it, I realized how much curriculum knowledge I learned without getting the theory stuck in my way.
I love theoretically based information-injecting, but I relished this book due to my past familiarity with the early childhood fathers. I knew of Piaget, Vygotsky, Montessori, Kamii, Froebel, and the like. I needed some practical information, not those basics. This book hit the spot. Please try it.

Practical and Useful Information for ECE Students,
By Chris Strader (S C) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Practical Guide to Early Childhood Curriculum: Linking Thematic, Emergent, and Skill-Based Planning to Children's Outcomes (2nd Edition) (Paperback)
This book helped me so much when I took early childhood education classes at the community college. It was easy to read and understand as an overview of early childhood education and it followed a logical "Who, What, Where, When and Why" format in the early chapters. Then it actually gave simple and effective systems for doing individualized teaching and keeping track of it, which is a requirement in today's early childhood programs. In addition it gave an excellent appendix of what to expect developmentally from children birth to age eight, AND another appendix that provides a system of time blocks for doing lesson planning for 3-5 year olds that matches up with the child's continually changing and evolving development. This book was the most useful book for teaching young children that I have ever used, bar none, and I highly recommend it for communitiy colleges and also for teachers already in the field. It could be easily used for inservice training. It's my "handbook" for everything I need to do in curriculumn planning now that I teach in a preschool; I would never resell it. Chris Strader SC
