Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A learning center is a defined space where materials are organized in such a way that children learn without the teacher's constant direction. This book offers guidelines that will help preprimary and primary school teachers organize and manage learning centers in the classroom. Chapter 1 describes the advantages of using learning centers and explains what a learning center classroom looks like. Chapter 2 focuses on organizational and management concerns, such as arranging the room, scheduling the day, previewing and reviewing activities, limiting the number of children working in the centers, and monitoring their choices. Chapter 3 considers the role of the teacher in assessment, the planning and setting up of learning centers, interaction, and arbitration. In chapters 4 and 5, types of learning centers appropriate for preprimary and primary education are discussed in terms of the rationale for the center, the integration of developmental skills into learning in the center, organizational suggestions, and sample activities. Chapter 4 discusses preprimary centers for art, table games, discovery, dramatic play, blocks, music, and construction, and library and gross motor centers. Chapter 5 looks at learning centers appropriate for primary grades, including centers for creative writing, reading, spelling, handwriting, social studies, science, and mathematics, library centers, and "active primary centers," which function as extensions of the centers discussed in chapter 4. A list of resource books is included in both chapters 4 and 5. Chapter 6 suggests first steps for the teacher considering the conversion to a learning center classroom. (AC)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today’s kindergarten teachers face enormous challenges to reach district-mandated academic standards. This book presents a model for 21st-century kindergartens that is rooted in child-centered learning and also shaped by the needs and goals of the present day. Classroom teachers working with diverse populations of students and focusing on issues of social justice provide vivid descriptions of classroom life across urban and rural communities. Teacher reflections and commentary from the editors link teacher decisions to principles of good practice. Teaching Kindergarten illustrates how a progressive, learning-centered approach can not only meet the equity and accountability goals of the Common Core State Standards but go well beyond that to educate the whole child. Book Features: Rich examples of learner-centered teaching in diverse public school settings.Depictions of integrated curricula in science, social studies, math, arts, and language arts that address Common Core and other standards.Connections to recent developmental research and pedagogy.Programs promoting social and cultural awareness.Photographs of children’s projects and a list of children’s books. “The teachers you are about to read tell stories no one has heard before, at a time when it is difficult to hear the individual voices in the classroom. No grade level needs this soul-searching examination more than kindergarten. This book maps a remarkable number of journeys toward this goal. I hope teachers will be inspired to add their own voices to the process of renewal.” —Vivian Gussin Paley, internationally renowned educator, author, and classroom teacher “We need this book. It speaks eloquently to what good practice looks like in real schools, as well as what it means to be a good teacher. These are stories of amazing educators whose work addresses what equity is all about—starting with 5 year olds. It’s too bad the next 12 years of school are not more like these kindergarten classrooms.” —Deborah Meier, education activist, senior scholar at New York University’s Steinhardt School of Education

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this much needed resource, Maryellen Weimer-one of the nation's most highly regarded authorities on effective college teaching-offers a comprehensive work on the topic of learner-centered teaching in the college and university classroom. As the author explains, learner-centered teaching focuses attention on what the student is learning, how the student is learning, the conditions under which the student is learning, whether the student is retaining and applying the learning, and how current learning positions the student for future learning. To help educators accomplish the goals of learner-centered teaching, this important book presents the meaning, practice, and ramifications of the learner-centered approach, and how this approach transforms the college classroom environment. Learner-Centered Teaching shows how to tie teaching and curriculum to the process and objectives of learning rather than to the content delivery alone.
