Creative Curriculum
The Creative Curriculum balances both teacher-directed and
child-initiated learning, with an emphasis on responding to children's learning
styles and building on their strengths and interests. This completely updated
new edition of one of the country's leading research-based preschool curricula
applies the latest theory and research on best practices in teaching and
learning and the content standards developed by states and professional
organizations. While keeping the original environmentally-based approach of
earlier editions, The Creative Curriculum for Preschool clearly defines the
teacher's vital role in connecting content, teaching, and learning for preschool
children. It features goals and objectives linked directly to our valid and
reliable assessment instrument (The Creative Curriculum Developmental Continuum
for Ages 3-5).
