Who Am I in the Lives of Children? An Introduction to Early Childhood Education, 11th edition

For the introduction to early childhood education course in two- and four-year colleges.

Who Am I in the Lives of Children? An Introduction to Early Childhood Education reflects a practical, constructivist approach to early childhood education (birth to grade 3) and care programs that is dedicated to the development of the whole child–physical, social, emotional, and intellectual.

With its highly readable personal voice, appealing photographs, authentic children’s classroom work, and engaging stories, it allows readers to visualise effective classroom practices that speak to each child’s strengths, interests, and challenges. This understanding–coupled with contemporary, research-based information–inspires readers to support each child’s growth and learning in ways that are in harmony with who they are, rather than according to a predetermined plan.
