Opis

This book provides a comprehensive and practical guide to using the project approach when teaching young children with special needs. While focusing on childrens individual strengths, which include their interests, intelligences, and unique styles of learning, this resource demonstrates teaching strategies that address multiple areas of development. Using scenarios from their own practice, the authors examine the process of accessing childrens strengths to facilitate social, emotional, cognitive, and motor development, including concepts and skills. The authors provide tools to determine, organize, and plan with childrens strengths and demonstrate the use of documentation as an authentic assessment of childrens skills and goals. Teachers will use this book to create learning environments that enrich learning for all children.
