Download or read book Engaging Young Children in Mathematics written by Douglas H. Clements and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2004 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Engaging Young Children in Mathematics: Standards for Early Childhood Mathematics Education brings together the combined wisdom of a diverse group of experts involved with early childhood mathematics. The book originates from the landmark 2000 Conference on Standards for Pre-kindergarten and Kindergarten Mathematics Education, attended by representatives from almost every state developing standards for young children's mathematics; federal government officials; mathematicians; mathematics educators; researchers from mathematics education, early childhood education, and psychology; curriculum developers; teachers; policymakers; and professionals from organizations such as the National Conference of Teachers of Mathematics and the National Association for the Education of Young Children. The main goal of the Conference was to work collectively to help those responsible for framing and implementing early childhood mathematics standards. Although it has its roots in the Conference, the expanded scope of the standards and recommendations covered in this book includes the full range of kindergarten to grade 2. The volume is organized into two main parts and an online appendix (http://www.gse.buffalo.edu/org/conference/). Part One, Major Themes and Recommendations, offers a framework for thinking about pre-kindergarten - grade 2 mathematics education and specific recommendations. Part Two, Elaboration of Major Themes and Recommendations, provides substantive detail regarding young students' understandings of mathematical ideas. Each Part includes five parallel subsections: "Standards in Early Childhood Education"; "Math Standards and Guidelines"; "Curriculum, Learning, Teaching, and Assessment"; "Professional Development"; and "Toward the Future: Implementation and Policy." As a whole the book: * presents comprehensive summaries of research that provide specific guidelines for standards, curriculum, and teaching; * takes the recent reports and recommendations for early childhood mathematics education to the next level; * integrates practical details and research throughout; and * provides a succinct, but thorough review of research on the topics, sequences, and learning trajectories that children can and should learn at each of their first years of life, with specific developmental guidelines that suggest appropriate content for each topic for each year from 2-year-olds to 7-year-olds. This is an indispensable volume for mathematics educators, researchers, curriculum developers, teachers and policymakers, including those who create standards, scope and sequences, and curricula for young children and professional teacher development materials, and students in mathematics education, early childhood trainers, teacher educators, and faculty in mathematics education.

Download or read book Early Childhood Teachers Professional Competence in Mathematics written by Simone Dunekacke and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-09-27 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume presents cutting-edge research on the professional competence of early childhood mathematics teachers. It considers professional knowledge, motivational-affective dispositions, skills and performance in early childhood mathematics and outlines future fields of research in this area. The book argues that it is essential for early childhood teachers to prepare a high-quality learning environment and that mathematical competence is highly relevant for children’s individual development. Bringing together research from mathematics education, educational science and psychology, it integrates international perspectives and considers the contextual factors that affect the development of children’s mathematical competence within Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) settings. The book uses a model to describe professional teacher competence that considers the dispositions of early childhood teachers, situation-specific skills of early childhood teachers and the performance of early childhood teachers. The book is the first of its kind to give a comprehensive overview and allows for integrative perspectives and interdisciplinary understanding regarding pre- and in-service ECEC teachers’ professional competence in the domain of mathematics. It will be essential reading for academics, researchers and students of early childhood education, mathematics education and teacher education.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poor professional development has been a major barrier to achieving high quality mathematics education in early childhood programs. This qualitative study investigated the ways early childhood teachers could be helped to teach mathematics, seeking important ideas of how we as teacher educators can plan and provide professional development to maximize the professional growth of teachers. The findings from this study indicated that the two early childhood teachers' who participated in the study benefited in terms of the growth of their knowledge of teaching mathematics. Their collaborative experiences also helped the teachers develop positive dispositions toward teaching mathematics. As a result, the teachers were able to demonstrate their abilities to implement an effective mathematics curriculum in their classroom. Potential explanations for the success of the collaborative professional development experience examined in this study were discussed, as were implications for teacher educators. (1970/2000) argued that both the oppressors and the oppressed should engage in a discussion of power struggles in order to become fully human. This study investigated how Freire's idea of becoming fully human was exercised in a critical literacy curriculum with a privileged group of students. As a teacher and researcher, I constructed an after-school critical literacy curriculum about poverty with three Korean 6th graders from economically affluent backgrounds. Different instructional models of critical literacy (Busching & Slesinger, 2002; Lewison et al., 2007) elaborated how students' resources should be reflected in a critical literacy curriculum. This research provides one example of how an instructional model of critical literacy can be unique, depending on students' backgrounds.

Download or read book The Impact of Professional Development on Preschool Teachers in Inclusive Community based Preschools written by Lorina Moyer and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Early childhood education is tasked with preparing children for kindergarten by acquiring skills in all areas of development. One area that many preschool teachers have reported they do not feel as comfortable addressing is supporting children who are demonstrating challenging behaviors. As a result, preschools may suspend or expel their children who exhibit these challenges. The impact of this has been proven to be detrimental for not only the child’s current education, but their future education as well. This mixed-methods study aimed to determine if preschool teachers from inclusive community-based preschools were able to implement behavior strategies they learned during a two-hour pre-recorded training session given by a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). Findings of this study showed that the majority of the preschool teachers felt as if they were able to implement the learned strategies in their classroom; however, the results were not as favorable when asked if the teachers felt as if there was a reduction of challenging behaviors in their classroom.
