Today’s kindergarten teachers face enormous challenges to reach
district-mandated academic standards. This book presents a model
for 21st-century kindergartens that is rooted in child-centered
learning and also shaped by the needs and goals of the present day.
Classroom teachers working with diverse populations of students and
focusing on issues of social justice provide vivid descriptions of
classroom life across urban and rural communities. Teacher
reflections and commentary from the editors link teacher decisions
to principles of good practice. Teaching Kindergarten illustrates
how a progressive, learning-centered approach can not only meet the
equity and accountability goals of the Common Core State Standards
but go well beyond that to educate the whole child.
