Inhaltsangabe

"This essential guide shows readers developmentally appropriate and equitable approaches to deliver important STEAM skills to young children in ways that are both impactful and fun." -Julie Dobrow, Tufts University

Early childhood educators know the benefits of young children exploring STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, math), but many products and apps on the market are cost-prohibitive, confusing, and not playful or developmentally appropriate. Playful STEAM Learning in the Early Years addresses these barriers head-on, sharing practical approaches for introducing STEAM that are simple to implement and engaging for both children and adults. The authors provide evidence-based, hands-on strategies as well as a practical framework to effectively integrate STEAM learning in the early grades (pre-K to 3rd grade).

Book Features:


  • Provides tips and strategies rooted in existing frameworks and guidelines, as well as the authors' original research on the cognitive and socioemotional benefits of STEAM experiences.
  • Empowers early childhood educators working in any setting (informal, formal, or home settings).
  • Describes a new framework for the equitable design and implementation of play-based STEAM learning in early childhood settings.
