Overview
Prepare early educators to help all children thrive in inclusive settings with the third edition of this widely adopted text, now updated to align with today’s critical topics in early childhood education. Bridging the gap between early childhood education and early childhood special education, this textbook blends today’s best practices for teaching young children with and without disabilities into one proven, comprehensive approach.
Now with expanded recommendations on implementing multitiered systems of support (MTSS), this trusted text gives readers both the foundational lens and the practical strategies they need to teach all children from ages 2 to 6. Teachers will get clear, explicit guidance on:
- Using a four-element curriculum framework to support instructional planning in blended classrooms
- Designing an MTSS that addresses the needs of all children in inclusive settings through universal, focused, and systematic strategies
- Embedding learning opportunities that address children’s goals
- Blending practices to boost social-emotional, language/literacy, and math/science outcomes, and to support children who are multilingual
- Teaming with families and professionals from a range of disciplines
- Creating systems-level support for implementing blended practices
