Paperback, Cengage\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePRESCHOOL APPROPRIATE PRACTICES, 5th Edition, helps future and current teachers create self-directed learning environments in their classrooms. Each chapter helps students learn how to set up one type of learning center (e.g., music\/dance), including instructions on what to include in the center and how children can use it. The self-directed learning approach encourages children to become involved in their own learning. A second theme emphasizes the teacher's role as a facilitator, helping readers understand how to: 1) observe children's developmental levels, 2) provide developmentally appropriate activities, 3) serve as a behavior model, and 4) best support children in their learning. Learning activities, some of which incorporate children's picture books, exemplify the NAEYC's developmentally appropriate practice (DAP). Chapters also incorporate NAEYC accreditation criteria.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ceng-productCollapsibleSection_header is-open\" data-type=\"toggle\" data-group=\"Section Heading\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ceng-productCollapsibleSection_body\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ceng-productFeatures\"\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"ceng-productFeatures_featureList ceng-productFeatures_featureList--columns\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnd-of-chapter resources include a summary of practical key ideas covered in the chapter, Try It Yourself activities, and a list of relevant children's books.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMajor sections in each chapter are now organized around specific learning objectives that students will attain by mastering the chapter content.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe book serves as a useful and practical resource for teachers at every professional level, encouraging readers to understand their role in the classroom and how to motivate children's self-directed learning.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe text reflects the most recent position statements and standards, with frequent references to NAEYC program accreditation standards.
