Science in Early Childhood Education
Designing Curriculum to Meet Standards with Evidence-Based Practices
By Victoria Carr, Ed.D, & Mary Beth Wright-Myers, with invited contributors

Producer/Director: Tom Purdy

Prepare inservice early childhood educators to create a rich, meaningful science curriculum with this complete professional development package. Teacher trainers will get a two-part set they can use in tandem: a DVD filmed at the highly respected, award-winning Arlitt Child and Family Research & Education Center at the University of Cincinnati, and a corresponding PowerPoint presentation on CD-ROM.

On the DVD—filled with lively classroom footage, insightful teacher reflections, and commentary from experts—educators will see first-hand how to

plan and implement games and activities that help children develop scientific knowledge
integrate science throughout the whole classroom
create intentional teaching opportunities
use questioning strategies to promote higher-level thinking

And with the CD-ROM, teacher trainers will have more than 80 PowerPoint slides with supplementary content, including helpful outlines of the key take-away points, discussion questions about the DVD footage, and instructions on how to make simple classroom materials that help children learn.

A rare inside look at good science instruction in action, this CD-and-DVD set is the ideal way to strengthen teaching practices—and give young children a foundation of scientific knowledge they'll build on for years to come.
