This book contains a collection of the author's previously published articles on early childhood care and education. Each chapter was written in response and reaction to particular events or contexts that were provocative. Many of the issues explored were stimulated by experiences with teachers and caregivers of young children, many of whom were also the author's students, as well as with other professional colleagues. These background experiences and events are described briefly in the introduction to each article.

The classic Dr. Katz in one volume,
By A Customer
This review is from: Talks with Teachers of Young Children: A Collection (Paperback)
If you are in early childhood education and you haven't read Lilian Katz, you've missed a major intellectual development opportunity. The book gathers in one place those wonderful explorations of thought that we have come to value so much. These articles have been instrumental in shaping my profesional development by not only provoking thought but also by providing support with the tough issues. For the benefit of children, Dr. Katz tackles topics and traditions that others won't touch. In this one volume you get her challenge to meaningful development of self-esteem, her exploration into the differences between being a teacher and a mother, her drawing of the line between excitement and education, and her stages of teaching. The latter I carry in my briefcase for ready sharing with teachers. If this is the first opportunity you have had to become acquainted with the thoughts of Lilian Katz, it will change forever the way you teach and how you look at children and learning.
