This book
is a collection of 10 papers discussing aspects of teacher development
and working with children. "Teachers' Developmental Stages"
outlines four developmental stages in teachers' professional growth,
and suggests implications for teacher training. "Teachers in
Preschools: Problems and Prospects" discusses child-adult relationships
and problems in adult-child relationships, in the context of larger
public issues. "Inservice Training: The Advisory Approach",
evaluates the experiences of inservice advisors providing individualized
help to elementary school teachers. "The Enabling Model for
Early Childhood Programs" describes a non prescriptive approach
to helping communities implement their early childhood programs.
"Challenges to Early Childhood Educators" focuses on four
principles of teaching which apply to the education of both children
and adults. "Early Childhood Programs and Ideological Disputes"
discusses the functions, consequences and implications of ideological
conflicts in early childhood education. "Program Planning in
Early Childhood" discusses guidelines and goals. "Children's
Needs for Optimum Development" is concerned with factors contributing
to the healthy psychological development of children. "Condition
with Caution" examines the use of behavior modification in
light of the complex origins of children's behavior. "Education
or Excitement" suggests that encouraging children's sustained
involvement and interest is more important than providing momentary
excitement. (SB)
