Developmentally Appropriate Curriculum

For curriculum in early childhood education courses.

Developmentally Appropriate Curriculum: Best Practices in Early Childhood Education is an all-in-one guide that brings together everything pre-service teachers need to implement an integrated, developmental approach to curriculum-based instruction.

The 7th Edition addresses all aspects of classroom life - conceptualisation, planning, implementation, and evaluation - for children ages three through eight. This comprehensive, cohesive approach emphasises the 'how' of curriculum development, as well as the 'what and why.' With practical, research-based guidelines, sample activities and lesson plans for each curriculum domain, and a focus on teaching methods, readers have the tools they need to translate theory into age-appropriate practice that accommodates individual, social, and cultural differences.
