Making Links: A Collaborative Approach to Planning and Practice in Early Childhood Programs - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

This book is about creating environments, interactions, and relationships that allow children (birth to age 5) in center-based and family child care programs to have authentic experiences that will promote their development and learning. To address planning and practice, the authors zero in on knowing and respecting the individual child, the group, and working in partnership with families. Rather than focusing on educational activities per se, the emphasis is on paying attention to the child's whole experience in the program. The authors examine what you need to know about children and their families, how to translate that information into plans and activities, and how to include parents in the process. The authors wrote this book to be a "collaborative encounter with readers."

Book Features:

• Ways to learn about each child in the context of the family's culture, goals, priorities, and dreams for their child.
• Attention to diversity, inclusion, and antibias throughout the text.
• Many questions and suggestions to encourage debate and dialogue.

This is a practical resource that can be used by early care and education professionals, paraprofessionals, and family child care providers.
