This book covers a vast range of different philosophical and
practical approaches to early education, from Free/Open schools and
Waldorf education, to the Core Curriculum and the learning
standards approach of the U.S. federal No Child Left Behind Act. By
the early years it is meant the ages from infancy through the end
of elementary school. While some of the approaches, such as
Montessori and Reggio Emilia, are best known for the pre-school
years, and the standards approach is best know for American K-12
education, there is more and more overlap and merging across early
childhood and elementary education approaches, world-wide. All the
approaches covered in this text can be seen in programs from
infancy through the end of elementary school, even if each may
focus on a certain age within this time frame. We are seeing major
changes in infant, pre-kindergarten and elementary school education
approaches, world-wide. These changes are the result of several
major factors, including the extensive and powerful new brain
research; globalisation of markets, ideas, and the Internet; rapid
demographic shifts in many developed countries, and a move to more
universal education in developing countries and more universal
pre-school programs in developed countries. Thus, the focus of this
book in describing a variety of current education approaches, with
a detailed description of their historical and philosophical
foundations and their current practice is very timely.
