Who Am I in the Lives of Children? An Introduction to Early Childhood Education, Florida Version (with MyEducationLab) (8th Edition) - Hardcover
This introductory textbook contains Florida VPK Standards and CDA and FCCPC Goals and correlations to the Feeney textbook content (via chapter/title and page number). It also presents the Early Childhood Career Ladder, information on the Child Care Credential, and Scenarios for Practice in essay and multiple-choice format, linking VPK standards and CDA Functional Areas to real-life classroom scenarios.
The eighth edition of Who Am I in the Lives of Children? has some substantial enhancements to previous editions. This introductory text presents a child–centered, constructivist approach to early childhood education and care programs in a range of contemporary settings. Its clear, conceptual framework and integration of principles and practices assist students in understanding the important values of the field and how these translate into programs for young children. It helps them to develop their own philosophy and teaching style and encourages them to reflect on their values and actions.
The authors' straightforward, conversational writing style, and appealing color photographs and art appeals to a wide-range of students. With its focus on respecting children, ethics, and personal and professional development of teachers of young children, it has become one of most well received books in the field.
