The Child in the Family, by Maria Montessori
"Free the child's potential, and you will transform him into the world."
- Maria Montessori
"If you're going to equalize the academic playing field, you've got to get the kids in early childhood programs."
- Paul Vallas quotes
"This state has put a lot of concentration on reforming the K-12 system, but we've done very little with early childhood education. We can't wait until they get to kindergarten because then we're just playing catch-up."
- Evelyn Keating
"If you think education is expensive, try ignorance!"
- Andy McIntyre
"The purpose of education is to replace an empty mind with an open one."
- Malcolm Forbes
"Never help a child with a task at which he feels he can succeed."
- Maria Montessori
"In early childhood you may lay the foundation of poverty or riches, industry of idleness, good or evil, by the habits to which you train your children. Teach them right habits then, and their future life is safe.”
- Lydia Sigourney
"Experts tell us that 90% of all brain development occurs by the age of five. If we don't begin thinking about education in the early years, our children are at risk of falling behind by the time they start Kindergarten."

Berk says. "We find that children who are most effective at complex make-believe play take on that responsibility with... greater willingness, and even will assist others in doing so without teacher prompting."

about being a teacher
What kind of advocate do you want to be?
þ Some advocates will be leaders—people who provide vision and keep the advocacy
effort on track.
þ Some advocates will be advisors—people who are willing to share their special
expertise with advocates and the policymakers that advocates are trying to
influence.
þ Some advocates will be researchers—people who can collect data and synthesize
research reports into issue briefs and background papers.
þ Some advocates will be “contributors”—those people who are willing to roll up
their sleeves and participate in the nuts-and-bolts work of advocacy, from making
phone calls to stuffing letters or marching in front of the state capitol.
þ Some advocates will be friends—people who do not have the time or resources to
participate in every aspect of the planning and implementation of advocacy, yet who
care and can always be counted on to help when a push is needed.

Researchers say imaginative play allows children to make their own rules and practice self-control.
Organizing play for kids has never seemed like more work. But researchers Adele Diamond and Deborah Leong have good news: The best kind of play costs nothing and really only has one main requirement — imagination.
good executive function is a better predictor of success in school than a child's IQ. Children who are able to manage their feelings and pay attention are better able to learn
According to Berk, one reason make-believe is such a powerful tool for building self-discipline is because during make-believe, children engage in what's called private speech: They talk to themselves about what they are going to do and how they are going to do it.
"self-regulating language is highest during make-believe play," Berk says. "
"Reading storybooks with preschoolers promotes self-regulation, not just because it fosters language development, but because children's stories are filled with characters who model effective self-regulatory strategies," says researcher Laura Berk.

I love the last quote you have. It should serve as a guide for all of us that teach preschool. I also noticed that a lot of your resources are related to Montessori. Did you attend Montessori schools or teach in one?
ReplyDeleteI love the fact that you included books in this section. Also the web sites are perfect and will help us in our classes. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI checked out the "Positive Discipline" website by Jane Nelson and I loved the way she manages Mistakes as wonderful opportunities to learn. This website also offers many links to other early childhood education subjects.
ReplyDeleteHi Elizabeth,
ReplyDeleteGreat job! You have provided the class with a wealth of information. I found the site www.voices.org/ especially interesting,it directed me to another link tha I also found interesting, " race matters". Again good job.
Vanessa
I also noticed your attention was directed to montessori... Is that a field you are interested in or have experience in?
ReplyDeleteElizabeth you have a great layout and a lot of helpful resources. I really like your quotes. I see that you also have plenty of facts about books.
ReplyDeleteGreat Resources. Looks as though you have gathered quite a list.
ReplyDeleteElizabeth thank you for sharing all of your professional and personal resources with us. I love the layout and depth of your blog. Thank you for sharing the core values of our field. These values are our guiding principles as we work with children, families, and students. Whenever, I am in a ethical dilemma I always consult a colleague and the NAEYC code of ethics.
