Early Development and the Brain: Teaching Resources for Educators
Linda Gilkerson and Rebecca Klein, Editors
Whether you're seeking to introduce a new curriculum about the brain or revamp existing course materials, Early Development and the Brain's fresh perspective that links an understanding of the brain to early childhood education offers the best choice.
This scientifically sound curriculum taps the expertise of a cadre of nationally recognized developmental and neuroscience professionals from over 23 institutions, including the Yale Child Study Center, Harvard Medical School, and the Erikson Institute.
Early Development and the Brain contains everything you'll need to advance your teaching skills to a higher level. Organized in nine units, this curriculum distills complex topics, such as "sensory processing" and "language and the brain" and offers a road map for teaching them.
The units flow in a meaningful sequence, yet the curriculum is flexible enough to teach units either individually or as a part of other course materials.
