Diane Trister Dodge is the lead author of The Creative Curriculum for Preschool which is managed through Teaching Strategies, LLC founded in 1988. The article History of Creative Curriculum tells us “The creative curriculum’s foundation is based on the findings of six main theorists: Brazelton, Maslow, Erikson, Greenspan, Piaget, and Vygotsky. Through their views on children the curriculum is constructed as a guideline for how to provide the best possible care and education for young children” (pg. 2). It also informs us that “T.

    Dusk had come, silent, ceremonious, which brought her painful but pleasant memories in the diminishing light. Her shaking hands and arthritic fingers from the passing of time were holding the record player’s metal arm. The stylus hopped, moving lightly and quickly over damaged grooves from excessive use, landing very deep in the vinyl recording.

The incongruous speakers passed a faint melody of music.

    The worn brass saxophone buzzed with arcane energy as I picked it up for the first time. Verdigris and rust crept out from underneath the joints binding the horn together and pockmarked the body of the instrument. Dark pits and long, deep scratches, like scars on a battleworn samurai of the Yamaha clan, covered the keys. The lacquer had been stripped off the body of the horn, but not the keywork, which created an odd, slightly unsettling contrast between the matte and shiny finishes. I almost thought that a vigorous rub would cause a genie to unfurl from the bell.

  • Summary Of The New Preschool Is Crushing Kids By Christakis

Parents want to make sure that they give their children the best possible start to education, in order to create a solid foundation for success late in life. However, in society today, expectations placed on preschoolers are becoming more demanding, a trend that could have many negative consequences on the development of children. This idea is discussed in the article The New Preschool is Crushing Kids written by Erika Christakis. Christakis interconnects the audience, speaker, and subject as well as uses appeals to logic, emotion, and credibility to craft a strong and effective argument about how preschool has started to place too many expectations on preschoolers.

    Let us take our minds back to focus on this essay. After reading the article “Locke and Rousseau on Early Education”, I realize that these two philosophers are unusual. They invested a lot of time, effort in childhood education. However, they have different views and methods on educating children on early childhood education (0-8 years of age).

    Within this theoretical discussion I will address how current principles of early years’ pedagogy have been affected by the work of pioneers of early years’ education. Modern day Early Years Education has been hugely influenced and built upon the ideas and theories of historic and current pioneers and legislation. The statutory framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage is a legal document that sets out the standards required for the development, care and learning of children aged birth to 5 years.

  • Rhetorical Analysis Of Doing Nothing Is Something

    Quindlen uses research from credible sources to support her argument. For example, she quotes “A study by the University of Michigan quantified the downtime deficit; in the last twenty years American kids have lost about four unstructured hours a week” (90). This information confirms that throughout the past few decades, children are overscheduled and not partaking in free time. Quindlen also states that “there is also ample psychological research suggesting that what we might call “doing nothing: is when human beings actually do their best thinking, and when creativity comes to call” (90). By providing this information, Quindlen supports her belief that children need time to detach themselves from their scheduled lives and play outside to improve their creative capabilities.

    Modern day schooling forces students to fit a mold only a select few can fill by creating too much structure and having an overbearing emphasis on math and science, when other, less structured extracurricular activities can promote respect, discipline, and teamwork. Most would agree that, in early stages of life, art is a detrimental and necessary part of any child’s early development and education. In fact, Pre-K through third grade’s education curriculum is usually centered around promoting early creativity and a fondness for learning. Kids learn math by counting colorful pieces of bricks.
