Inhaltsangabe

A day in a preschool classroom can be hectic, and with so many learning goals to be met, it’s no surprise that teachers sometimes wonder how they will get it all done. This accessible book by Judith Schickedanz shows teachers how to maximize the scope and power of their instruction through integration―across content domains and across learning contexts. With a focus on language, literacy, and mathematics, Schickedanz introduces strategies that will bolster instruction in all subjects. Engaging vignettes demonstrate effective integration throughout the schedule, including during story time, center time, and large and small group sessions. She writes that integration can "help us better manage our time and make instruction more powerful―and learning more meaningful―for children." This wonderful book shows you how to do just that.

A day in an early childhood classroom can be hectic. There is so much that we could choose to do, so many skills and concepts on which to work. How can a teacher do it all? Over the past few years, I have heard many preschool teachers’ concerns that teaching and learning have become too fragmented by subject curriculum areas and devoid of meaningful context. There are hardly enough hours in a day to teach everything we are asked to teach. This is especially true when the instruction for one time period addresses only one content domain. If done well, however, increasing the integration of learning within multiple content domains and various instructional contexts can help us better manage our time and make our instruction more powerful―and learning more meaningful―for children.
