Early Learning Theories Made Visible
Early Learning Theories Made Visible
This is the book that began my career as a writer.
The idea behind this book was to give clarity to the early learning theories that had informed my work and practices.
Theories are often complex and challenging to understand. A book that would connect learning theories to stories of play was something that if felt was needed in the early childhood profession. Writing this book challenged me to explore each theory and understand how they guided my thinking and depth of practice.
An accessible way to understand early learning theories
Go beyond reading about early learning theories and see what they look like in action in modern programs and teacher practices. With classroom vignettes and colorful photographs, this book makes the works of Jean Piaget, Erik Erikson, Lev Vygotsky, Abraham Maslow, John Dewey, Howard Gardner, and Louise Derman-Sparks visible, accessible, and easier to understand. Each theory is defined—through engaging stories and rich visuals—in relation to cognitive, social-emotional, and physical developmental domains. Use this book to build a stronger comprehension of the foundations of early learning theories and become more reflective and intentional in your work with young children.
