Description: "Emergent curriculum encourages early childhood educators to use creativity and flexibility as they respond to classroom challenges and children's interests. Filled with case studies and stories from toddler and preschool teachers about their experiences responding to events in their own classrooms, The Unscripted Classroom provides inspiration for educators to step out of their usual scripts and try something new. A review of the emergent curriculum philosophy and an examination of the many ways creativity in teaching benefits children are included. This resource complements Emergent Curriculum in Early Childhood Settings: From Theory to Practice by the same author"-- Provided by publisher.

"This book is based on stories from real teachers using emergent curriculum in their own classrooms. It focuses on how the teachers made decisions in their classrooms, guided by children's interests. By understanding these teachers' creative thinking, readers will be inspired to step out of usual scripts and try something that feels new, links observations to curriculum, creates a passion for teaching, and leads to innovative practices"-- Provided by publisher.
