The Unscripted Classroom: Emergent Curriculum in Action

by Susan Stacey

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.

Lots of good ideas and examples. Wonderful reminders for following students' interest (a possible interest about penguins turned into a project about hockey)
