Review Quote A clear and thoughtful how-to guide to teaching young children. Epstein provides a framework for creating powerful learning experiences for young children across the many domains of development.--Ben Mardell, Professor of Early Childhood Education, Lesley UniversityThe debates are over--or they should be. Epstein marshals research and practical wisdom to get beyond arguments about "child-centered" versus "adult-centered" teaching strategies. With the help of this book, the intentional teacher skillfully blends both, promoting positive development for every child. Great for new and experienced teachers alike.--Marilou Hyson, Early Childhood Consultant and Adjunct Professor, University of PennsylvaniaMany teachers get so busy in the classroom that they forget they are decision makers. The Intentional Teacher is a rich resource that teachers, coaches, and program leaders can use to fuel conversations about child- and adult-guided experiences and to build knowledge and skills around intentional decision making.--Judy Jablon and Amy Laura Dombro, coauthors (with Charlotte Stetson) of Powerful Interactions: How to Connect With Children to Extend Their LearningThis comprehensive update has been expanded to include all the curriculum domains and much new knowledge about childrens learning, resulting in this valuable contribution to early childhood educators!--Carol Copple, Consultant Deeply respectful of the role that teachers play in childrens lives, Epstein brings to life a sophisticated approach to teaching that is both committed to child development principles and sensitive to the demands of educational content. This book is a must-read for educators, parents, advocates, and policy makers.--Travis Wright, Assistant Professor, Early Childhood Education, University of Wisconsin-MadisonProductive play and learning are the result of teacher intentionality. Epstein has given teachers a guidebook for what it means to be intentional in everything they do in programs with young children. This book is indispensable.--Frances Carlson, Lead Instructor, Early Childhood Care and Education Department, Chattahoochee Technical College, and author of Big Body Play: Why Boisterous, Vigorous, and Very Physical Play Is Essential to Childrens Development and Learning Excerpt from Book Intentional teaching means teachers act with specific outcomes or goals in mind for all domains of childrens development and learning. "Academic" domains (literacy, mathematics, science, and social studies) as well as what have traditionally been considered early learning domains (social and emotional, cognitive, physical, and creative development) all consist of important knowledge and skills that young children want and need to master. Intentional teachers, therefore, integrate and promote meaningful learning in all domains.
