Overview

This book aims to broaden the teaching repertoires of pre-service and in-service early childhood teachers so they can better meet the needs of the children they teach. Covering 16 early childhood teaching strategies—ranging from traditional play-based approaches through direct teaching and technology-assisted instruction to postmodern methods—each chapter focuses on a different pedagogical approach, explaining what it is, why it’s important, and how it can be implemented in Pre-K–3 classrooms. Chapters conclude with detailed examples of how the strategies can be utilized to cover specific instructional objectives drawn from published standards. Diversified Teaching Strategies for Early Childhood Classrooms is essential reading for undergraduate students studying early childhood education, as well as graduate students, early childhood teacher educators, and any practicing Pre-K–Grade 3 teachers. It offers readers a richer set of tools for making good decisions about how to teach real content in ways that are effective and meet the needs of young children in a complex and rapidly changing world.
