K Today: Teaching and Learning in the Kindergarten Year

By Dominic F. Gullo (editor)

This book offers a vivid picture of kindergarten children, perceptive discussion of the current kindergarten context and policy issues, and clear guidelines for teaching and assessing kindergartners. Also, for six curriculum domains—language and literacy, math, science, the creative arts, social studies, and physical education—leading experts outline what children should know and be able to do and how effective teachers ensure that learning. Features the chapter "Science in Kindergarten" by Ingrid Chalufour of EDC's Center for Children & Families and Karen Worth of EDC's Center for Science Education. In the chapter, the authors use vignettes and explanatory text to present a picture of inquiry-based science in kindergarten classrooms. Appropriate subject matter is discussed as well as effective teaching strategies.
