The Early Years Matter
This accessible and enaging work introduces current and future teachers, child care providers, and others interested in early childhood education to the importance for the early years in children's well-being and success. It summarizes their research on the value of high-quality services for young children, families, and society, showing why early education matters both today and into the future. Emphasizing the need to understand and respect young children's strengths and unique characteristics, the authors offer inspiration for working in the field, as well as addressing the realistic challenges of implementing developmentally appropriate care and education.
Teacher Well-Being in Early Childhood
A teacher’s well-being has a powerful impact on their work with children, families, and colleagues, and can influence the overall quality of the program in which they are employed. With a specific focus on the unique factors related to the field of early childhood care and education, this book discusses the concept of well-being and how it applies specifically to teachers of young children. The authors provide a rationale and guidance for integrating teacher well-being content into both preservice and inservice professional learning environments. This comprehensive resource also explores the implications of, and connections between, teacher well-being, equity, and social justice. The autho...
Emotionally Responsive Teaching
Learn how to navigate the challenging terrain of connecting with a child who is deeply afraid, angry, and/or sad. Framing this work as emotionally responsive teaching (ERT), this book expands current conceptualizations of trauma-informed practice to encompass more broadly the relational demands of supporting young children with challenging life circumstances. The author accomplishes this by (1) arguing that predominant discussions of trauma fail to consider the ways that traumatic responses may facilitate both risk and resilience in children’s lives, (2) describing the impact of traumatic experiences and exposure to chronic stress on children’s development, (3) articulating a framework f...
New Teachers for a New Century
During the reign of the Kingdom of Burgundy at the Rhone River (about 443-534) a Burgundian church developed with an "Arian"-homoian profile. This led to disputes, but also to an intensive theological exchange with the predominantly Nicene Gallo-Roman population and with Bishop Avitus of Vienne. For the first time, this monograph provides selected letters and fragments written by Avitus, with German translation and annotation, which indicate problems of church organization and refer to discourses on religion and theological discussions - in particular on the Holy Spirit (filioque) - in order to clarify more exactly the meaning of "Arian" at that time.
FirstSchool
FirstSchool is a groundbreaking framework for teaching minority and low-income children. Changing the conversation from improving test scores to improving school experiences, the text features lessons learned from eight elementary schools whose leadership and staff implemented sustainable changes. The authors detail how to use education research and data to provide a rationale for change; how to promote professional learning that is genuinely collaborative and respectful; and how to employ developmentally appropriate teaching strategies that focus on the needs of minority and low-income children.
Thinking Critically about Environments for Young Children
This comprehensive book will help early childhood practitioners consider the "why" and "how" of setting up classrooms and other learning spaces to create environments that are most conducive to child development. Using a practice-based focus and a researcher lens, the contributors consider the ways in which enviroments for children enhance or diminish educational experiences, how social constructs about what is good for children influence environmental design, and what practitioners can do in their own work when creating learning environments for young children. There are copious examples from practice, lessons learned, and illustrations and photographs of key aspects of the environments they discuss.
Becoming Young Thinkers
Continuing the exploration of project work in the author's bestseller, Young Investigators, this book is designed for teachers who know how to do project work but are ready to move to the next level. Focusing on how children become young thinkers, the book begins with mind, brain, and education science and instructional guidelines for all learning experiences, and then connects these to the rich foundation of the project approach. Helm provides specific strategies for deepening project work, including how to select meaningful topics, plan for projects, integrate standards, support children's questioning, create provocations to promote enagement, and help children represent their ideas. This ...
Leading for Change in Early Care and Education
Featuring both research findings and practical recommendations, this book presents an innovative framework for nurturing leadership in the care and education of young children. Early educators are often seen as the objects of change, rather than the architects and co-creators of change. Douglass calls for a paradigm shift in thinking that challenges many long-held stereotypes about the early care and education workforce’s capacity to lead change. Case studies show how educators use their expertise every day to make a difference in the lives of children and families. These accounts demonstrate concrete strategies for expanding current thinking about who can be leaders for change and for dev...
