ReviewsA 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 University The 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 Pennsylvania Many 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 Learning This comprehensive update has been expanded to include all the curriculum domains and much new knowledge about children's learning, resulting in this valuable contribution to early childhood educators! --Carol Copple, Consultant Deeply respectful of the role that teachers play in children's 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-Madison Productive 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 Children's Development and Learning, A clear and thoughtful how-to guide to teaching young children.
