Early Childhood Curriculum: Planning, Assessment, and Implementation

by Claire McLachlan, Marilyn Fleer, Susan Edwards

Early Childhood Curriculum addresses current approaches to curriculum for infants, toddlers and young children, ages birth to eight. It provides a comprehensive introduction to the curriculum issues that student teachers and emerging practitioners will face and equips them with the decision-making tools that will ultimately enhance and promote young children's learning. The text proposes a cultural historical framework to explore diverse approaches to early years education, drawing on research and examples of practice across a range of international contexts. It offers a clear focus on domain areas of the curriculum - the arts, health and wellbeing, literacy and language, science and maths, and information and communication technology - so that teachers are able to gain a breadth of understanding and effectively plan, design and implement curriculum strategy.

good book for every kindergarten teacher.
it talks about every thing in starting from theories and studies, to culture and how it effects the curriculum.
and how can you design a good one with what you believe in.
