Description
MATH AND SCIENCE FOR YOUNG CHILDREN, Eighth Edition, is an introduction to engaging math and science experiences for early childhood and early elementary education programs, and provides an organized, sequential approach to creating a developmentally appropriate math and science curriculum. The content aligns with key guidelines and standards: The National Association for the Education of Young Children's (NAEYC) Professional Preparation Standards (2010); Developmentally Appropriate Practice (DAP) guidelines; Common Core Mathematics Standards; and Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). The book also addresses STEM/STEAM and the essential domains of child growth and development during the crucial birth-through-eight age range. A valuable resource for the student/future teacher, working professional, or involved parent, MATH AND SCIENCE FOR YOUNG CHILDREN emphasizes the interrelatedness of math and science and how they can be integrated into all other curriculum areas.

Rosalind Charlesworth, Ph.D., was professor emerita and retired department chair in the Department of Child and Family Studies at Weber State University in Ogden, Utah. Dr. Charlesworth's career in early childhood education included experiences with both typical and non-typical young children in laboratory schools, public schools and day care centers, plus research in social and cognitive development and behavior. Throughout her career, she was known for her contributions to research on early childhood teachers' beliefs and practices. In 1999, she was the co-recipient of the NAECTE/Allyn & Bacon Outstanding Early Childhood Teacher Educator award. In 2014, she received the Legacy Award from the Weber State University Child and Family Studies Department in recognition of her contributions to early childhood education.
