What is curriculum in early childhood?

What are some major issues and trends in early childhood curriculum?

  • Answer:

    No Child Left Behind has had a mostly negative effect on EC curriculum trends, IMO. Too many unknowing people, who may be really great in educating older children, have tried to push skills lower and lower. Of course there is nothing wrong with EC students learning letters and sounds, numeral identification, etc. The problem comes when that is allowed to push real EC learning out of the way. EC students should be learning how to think (yes!) as well as doing activities that increase their vocabulary, then "writing" about their experiences. I'd recommend reading: Einstein Never Used Flash Cards Tools of the Mind NAEYC's Developmentally Appropriate Practices These books will fill in what I do not have time to write.
