Spreading the News: Sharing the Stories of Early Childhood Education
I will surely spread the news about Spreading the News. An innovative and useful book for teachers and administrators. --Carolyn Edwards, Editor, The Hundred Languages of ChildrenSince we started documenting and representing our emergent curriculum, parents are commenting on and excited about the literacy that is popping up everywhere. I, too, am astonished at the increase in literacy that is coming out of this practice. --Barbara McPherson, Child Development Services, Fort Lewis, WashingtonThe most exciting aspect of this book is the idea of using the documentation process as a professional development tool. Documentation enhances teachers' learning by providing a meaninful and concrete vehicle for them to see children learning. Teachers come to understand children's development and also see their own learning process as adults. --Carol Brunson Phillips, Exec. Director, Council for Early Childhood Professional Recognition
