New to This Edition:
The authors have added features and rearranged the topics to give this text better coherence and greater usability. Readers will find we have updated references and resources throughout but have streamlined the research citations to provide for smoother reading. We removed the chapter on school curriculum but included suitable parts of that in other chapters. We have renamed some chapters to reflect changes in content, and we have grouped References by each chapter.
New Figures and Tables throughout the chapters update data on demographics of American families and communities.
New vignettes and illustrations to help readers understand the uniqueness of family life and the diversity in our country.
"Implications for Teachers:..." featured in each chapter give readers practical suggestions for trying out the ideas in the real world.
The Special Needs area is addressed more intensely by showing readers how to work with families of children with disabilities.
Family Systems Theory is highlighted to show the importance of understanding total family functioning in addition to the differences of individuals.
Protecting children has a higher profile. Authors include more information on the growing problems and concerns about obesity, bullying, substance and sexual abuse and help readers fit these concerns into the role of education.
Media pluses and minuses are highlighted in our chapters so readers understand when the benefits of expanded media opportunities can shift to exploitation and abuse.
Chandler Barbour, a retired professor of education, has spent over 40 years in elementary school teaching, school administration, and university teaching. His strong interests in educational partnerships for teachers in training and appropriate curriculum for children have led to research and writing on school collaborations and networks. He is a co-author of two earlier publications:Partnerships in Education (1970), AACTE and The Teaching Clinic (1974), Ass'n of Teacher Educators, plus articles and reports for professional journals in Education. In retirement, Mr. Barbour lives in coastal Maine and devotes volunteer time to public school projects, church programs, and prison inmate counseling. He also serves as a board director for a fishing advocacy group, a church facilities board, and one regional hospital board. Nita H. Barbour is a retired University of Maryland professor with over 30 years in teaching, researching and curriculum program development for educational facilities in three states. Her professional work covers involvement with programs for populations ranging from preschool to university graduate courses. Nita's Fulbright Scholarship in language study in the 1950s led to a career long interest in the uses of language and the impact of language and culture on education. This interest has followed her into retirement as a feature of the language literacy programs she has established for preschoolers in her Maine community. Professor Barbour is a co-author of two earlier textbooks in the early childhood field: Early Childhood Education: An Introduction, 4e, 1998, Merrill/Prentice Hall and Developmental Continuity Across Preschool & Primary Grades, 2e, 2004, Ass'n of Childhood Education International. Dr. Patricia Scully is an Associate Professor at the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) where she directs the early childhood teacher education program and teaches courses in early literacy, children’s literature, and curriculum. Earlier in her career, Dr. Scully taught in child care centers and public school classrooms working with children from two to 12 years of age in New Jersey, New York City, and Maryland. She has been a child care center director and has worked extensively in professional development for child care professionals. She is a graduate of The College of New Jersey, Teachers College, Columbia University and the University of Maryland College Park. Her publications include articles in the Early Childhood Journal and Young Children as well as the book, Developmental Continuity across Preschool and Primary Grades, 2nd Ed. published by the Association for Childhood Education International.
