Summary:
This practical book shows prospective teachers of children ages 2 to 5 how the basic characteristics of young children should influence instructional planning, curriculum, and expectations. Coverage is organized around eleven areas of experience that are critical to a child's development. Coverage incorporates the best of traditional methods and the brightest ideas of today's “cutting edge” thinkers into a cohesive presentation that emphasizes the individuality of each child and the idea that a relaxed, unstructured, yet carefully-planned atmosphere is most conducive to effective teaching. For educators who love children and want to help them “go forth” successfully.

This book is the required text for my EDU 335 class, only our class is using the 10th edition. I went ahead and ordered this one, hoping they would be close enough. The book is the same except some of the chapters are rearranged. A much cheaper deal than the new book.
