Practical Solutions to Practically Every Problem: The Early Childhood Teacher's Manual
I was skeptical of the title of this book, but after reviewing the manuscript I must say that the title is "right on." Steffen has done a magnificent job of dealing with most of the problems that one would encounter working in an early childhood program. He's attuned to the diversity of programs and needs and still manages to cover the bases. --David Wright, Ed.D., Assoc. Professor, Western Oregon State CollegeThis book addresses all the questions and concerns that are left out in teacher training, but are some of the most problematic ones of all. I admire the straight-forward discussion of sensitive topics and the sound suggestions that are given. This is a book that should be given to all early childhood teachers upon graduation or landing their first job. --Kathy Bobula, Chairperson, ECD, Clark CollegeThis book can be enormously helpful to teachers at every level, be they Head Start teachers, public school teachers, home care providers, or day care and nursery school teachers....In addition, the book is extremely well organized so that teachers can look up a particular problem rather than needing to read endlessly before finding help for one's particular problem. This in an innovative way of organizing child development material. --Dorothy Anker, Ph.D., Faculty, Retired, Erikson InstituteThis one volume guide is both comprehensive and up to date. The information is accurate, helpful, and easy to access. It will rule the early childhood educator's reference shelf in dog-eared splendor. --Alan S. Berlin, Director, Souther Oregon Head Start
