About this title

From the Publisher:

This text embeds a truly integrated approach by (1) closing the gap between teachers' efforts and children's experiences and (2) interweaving science and other curricular areas to create a more harmonious educational experience. Incorporating the latest research in the field, the Sixth Edition combines what future teachers learn about how young children think and feel with learning activities suited to those characteristics.
