About this title

Synopsis

Classroom management is a popular topic in early childhood settings, but what exactly does it mean? In this eye-opening book, educators and caregivers are invited to redefine what it means to their teaching―shifting away from control and obedience and adopting a model of guidance, support, and celebration. Filled with reflective prompts and practical strategies, this book empowers early childhood educators and caregivers to create nurturing spaces that honor each child's individuality and potential. It shows readers step by step how to dismantle the outdated notions of management to foster a collaborative classroom environment where teachers and children partner in learning. With a welcoming, conversational style, From Control to Collaboration in Early Childhood Education invites you to rethink how you view children and your role in their educational experience so that we can cultivate classrooms that inspire joy, creativity, and a lifelong love of learning.
