This is the only introduction to early childhood text that is based on the standards of professional preparation by the National Association for the Education of Young Children. Written by two award-winning teachers, the book clearly focuses the student on the process of becoming a knowledgeable, caring, competent, and reflective practitioner. Each chapter contains full case studies designed to stimulate discussion about the diverse social realities of the day in "One Child, Three Perspectives." Each chapter introduces students to leaders in the field and current thinking with a series of interviews with leading experts profiled in "Ask the Experts." All chapters close with an "In-Class Workshop" that is based on actual workshops conducted at conferences and training sessions. A new feature, "Exploring Our Diversity," highlights chapter content that relates to cultural diversity, children with special needs, and antibias curriculum. The text features a text-specific Companion Website, updated with new portfolio-building exercises for each chapter in addition to chapter resources and an interactive study guide. Instructor Resources include: • Printed Instructor's Manual, Test Bank, and Companion Website. The Test Bank is available in both printed and computerized versions. • A video library of current topics and issues that are integrated within the text.
