An in-depth look at children's inquiry and effects of environment
in early childhood settings. What does it mean to inquire? Grownups
would say it means to question, to search for information, or to
find out about a topic of interest. For children in an early
childhood classroom, the definition is no different. From the time
of their birth, children want to know how the world works and
actively seek out information. How educators respond to their
questions is what this book is all about. Inquiry-Based Early
Learning Environments takes an in-depth look at children's inquiry.
What does inquiry look like in early childhood settings? How does
the environment affect children's inquiries and teachers' thought
processes? Inquiry-Based Early Learning Environments examines
inquiry in all its facets, including environments that support
relationships, that create a culture of risk-taking in our
thinking, that support teachers as well as children, that include
families, that use documentation as a way of thinking about our
work, and of course, the physical environment and all the objects
and spaces within it. Throughout, stories about environments and
approaches to inquiry from around the world are included as
examples.
An inspiring step-by-step guide to documenting children's ideas,
questions, and learning. Pedagogical Documentation in Early
Childhood is an inspiring step-by-step guide to documenting
children's ideas, questions, play, and learning in a way that
enhances teachers' thinking and understanding at the same time.
This book supports teachers on their journey to tell the stories
behind children's work and inquiry.
Emergent curriculum encourages early childhood educators to use
creativity and flexibility as they respond to classroom challenges
and children's interests. Filled with case studies and stories from
toddler and preschool teachers about their experiences responding
to events in their own classrooms, "The Unscripted Classroom"
provides inspiration for educators to step out of their usual
scripts and try something new. A review of the emergent curriculum
philosophy and an examination of the many ways creativity in
teaching benefits children are included. This resource complements
"Emergent Curriculum in Early Childhood Settings: From Theory to
Practice" by the same author.
Emergent Curriculum with Toddlers addresses and
defines the practice of emergent curriculum and
its specialization and integration into toddler
programs. Toddlers are at a unique and important stage of
development, so educators require resources
that are specifically written for this crucial time of
life. Emergent curriculum for a toddler class can
look quite different from a preschool class in terms of
the children’s developing themes, the teacher’s observational
skills, and the emotional and social climate in the
program.?Â
This book explores the components of emergent curriculum and how
its practices can improve the educational culture of early
childhood programs. The updated edition includes new information on
exploration of inquiry-based practice, re-examination of circle
time and scripts for routines, expansion of invitations; including
invitations for children learning a second language, new photos and
documentation, and inclusion of Reggio Emilia.
