LEARNING TOGETHER WITH YOUNG CHILDREN: A CURRICULUM FRAMEWORK FOR REFLECTIVE TEACHERS

Deb Curtis & Margie Carter
These two best-selling authors, who work in the early learning field, believe teaching is a collaborative process in which teachers reexamine their own philosophies and practices while facilitating children’s learning. This book has a different approach than books which treat teaching as something teachers do for children.  The chapters in this curriculum framework include a conceptual overview followed by classroom stories and photographs to illustrate the concepts. Learning Together With Young Children helps teachers create materials and a classroom culture reflective of their values: Teach through observation, reflection, inquiry, and action, and encourage children to represent their learning in multiple ways, including songs, stories, and drama.
