"Developmentally Appropriate Curriculum In Action is a concise overview of all the components necessary to teach young children effectively. Focused on application and skill-building, core chapters are organized around domains of child development - aesthetic, affective, cognitive, language, physical and social - as the basis for curriculum planning. This highly practical text promotes child development and incorporates subject matter areas - art, math, literacy and science - into the developmental domains. Strongly methods-based in its approach, the book imparts the "how to" of teaching, with many developmentally appropriate examples of what and how to teach children ages three to six years of age." -- Provided by publisher.
