Biographie de l'auteur :

Gaye Gronlund MA is an early childhood education consultant from Indianapolis. A former preschool, kindergarten, and primary- school teacher in regular and special education, she now works with schools and programs around the country helping them implement developmentally appropriate curricular practices and authentic assessment procedures. She has a master's degree in human development from Pacific Oaks College, with a specialization in early childhood education and teaching adults.

Her portfolio assessment tool, Focused Portfolios, coauthored by Bev Engel, has been adopted by New Mexico's Office of Child Development and is being used extensively by early childhood programs across the country. She has written several articles for NAEYC's journal Young Children on subjects such as “Rigorous Academics in Preschools and Kindergartens? Yes, Let Me Tell You How!,” “Portfolios as an Assessment Tool: Is Collection of Work Enough?,” “Bringing the DAP Message to Kindergarten and Primary Teachers,” and “Coping with Ninja Turtle Play in My Kindergarten Classroom.” Her latest book, Making Early Learning Standards Come Alive, was released in April 2006 published by Redleaf Press. She is also the author of Focused Early Learning and the co-author of Focused Observations.

Quatri�me de couverture :

Standards are everywhere in early childhood education, from the number of children recommended for each teacher in a room to defining what young children should be learning. Making Early Learning Standards Come Alive provides practical help, support, and clear explanations on how to make early learning standards relevant and useful in classrooms and programs. Easy-to-read charts show the common language for standards, cross-referenced across twenty-four states, and how each particular standard correlates with current best practices.

This book shows how to:

implement standards in ways that are developmentally appropriate and benficial for children;
figure out reasonable and efficient ways to assess children's progress toward the standards;
plan curriculum with learning standards in mind in each of the seven major content areas--communication and literacy, math, science, social studies, social/emotional development, physical development and health, and creative arts;
be accountable while offering real alternatives to inappropriate testing and unreasonable expectations for outcomes.
