Play, Projects, and Preschool Standards
Play, Projects, and Preschool Standards: Nurturing Children's Sense of Wonder and Joy in Learning
by Gera Jacobs and Kathleen Crowley
Stimulate children’s love of learning while meeting standards and benchmarks!
Teachers today are often challenged by and concerned about the expectations in states' early learning standards. They have questions about their appropriateness, implementation, and tendency to overlook the needs of the growing number of children who are second language learners, or who have disabilities and developmental delays.
In Play, Projects, and Preschool Standards, authors Gera Jacobs and Kathy Crowley tackle these questions (and more!) head-on, providing teachers with plenty of lively, creative ideas to develop children's genuine curiosity while building the skills they'll need to succeed in kindergarten and beyond.
In inviting, informal language, the authors walk readers through the creation of well-planned projects and activities that both capture children's interest and enhance social and pre-academic development. Each chapter offers:
1. ''What Research and the Experts Say'' snapshots, and applications of the research in practice
2. ''Try This'' activity ideas that engage children and meet standards
3. Suggestions for tailoring activities to meet the needs of bilingual children and children with special needs
This timely book is sure to give teachers the confidence and competence they need to connect the experiences that make preschool so enjoyable with the skill development that makes preschool so necessary.
