Real Classroom Makeovers (eBook, ePUB)

Practical Ideas for Early Childhood Classrooms

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Learning environments are an important topic as more and more teachers try to make their classrooms into places that support and inspire learning. Using ';before' and ';after' pictures of real early childhood classrooms, Real Classroom Makeovers shows early childhood teachers step-by-step how small changes can transform their classrooms into wondrous environments for young children to learn and grow. With a budget-conscious focus, the book provides visual examples of dramatic changes that are possible in real preschool, Pre-K, and kindergarten classrooms. Most of the makeovers focus on a specific classroom area or learning center. Much more than a collection of before-and-after pictures, this book introduces and describes the philosophy behind creative learning environments based on current early childhood education research. Written in simple, down-to-earth language, this book is accessible for all educators!
