Reviews / Votes
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 of Early Childhood Education, University of Wisconsin-MadisonMore details
