Emergent Curriculum X-Library - Edition

This is an update by one of the early formulators of and long-term proponents for emergent curriculum. This book illustrates how emergent curricula might work and how it might be developed in a small early childhood center. Jones uses a narrative style, compositing her many years of experiences working with early childhood programs into a believable story of the ins, outs, ups, and downs, of the fuzzy process of seeing children as the correct place to look for curricular ideas.Jones first introduced the term "emergent curriculum" in 1970 in the introduction to "Curriculum is what happens." She has published articles for teachers and directors over the years to encourage them to work in this way with children. To my mind, she has been the strongest proponent and clearest voice for what in essence is the American parallel to the methods developed in Reggio Emilia, Italy.This book is a quick read, a good story, and displays the wisdom needed to pull together a group around a strange and invigorating way to work with young children.

I strongly recommend the book, I really love it. The price is very good, excellent quality and very fast shipping and handling.You can't wait for more. Very happy with the book and the company. Thanks a lot.

Love it

This book was very helpful to us, the teachers were guided every step of the way.

Fun, easy to read, great book for teachers.

I received the book today. it was in good condition.

This book has changed the face of our early childhood program.It has become our journal and map to providing a more appropriate child directed program. I have found that it released our teachers from the bounderies that surrounded them by guiding them to a classroom that is focused on the children's interest and yet provided an approach that was within reach. Emergent was always a frightening concept - but this book brought it down to earth for the staff by walking them through a year long journey of group of teachers - many of them with personalities that are similar to ourselves - breaking down each step and showing the simplicity of the concept. I recommend that this be a guide to all early childhood programs that step forward in their quest to providing a developmentally appropriate enviroment for their children

Wasnt what I expected but good info.
