Vignettes and case studies highlight chapter material in a natural context, helping students visualize what they're learning. MyEducationLab, a rich and integrated online experience, provides students a view into real classrooms when they watch videos and answer assignable questions to assess their understanding of chapter content and build skills they will need as teachers. Helps Students Put Theory into Practice Draws strong connections among theory, curriculum planning, implementation, and assessment and emphasizes the intentional curriculum. Supports Professional Development Discusses diverse types and levels of professional experiences. Ties end-of-chapter material to NAEYC Standards for Professional Preparation, CEC/DEC Personnel Standards for Early Education and Early Intervention, and NAEYC and DEC Codes of Ethical Conduct.
