BEYOND THE CURRICULUM: HOW RESPONSIVE RELATIONSHIPS AND THOUGHTFUL TEACHING ENHANCE QUALITY CARE

The relationship between teacher and child sets the stage in the classroom for learning to occur.

This program examines the importance of planning and discipline in the building of this relationship. It demonstrates how a teacher's classroom-management tools are used to build trust and attachment between teacher and child.

The program shows teachers working with children from one to five years of age in a year-round, all-day child-care center in which the main focus is on how to handle conflict and set limits while creating a loving environment conducive to learning. The teacher's skill in observing and anticipating behaviors and his timing of when and how to step in make all the difference.

The skills the children learn from this type of teaching go beyond getting ready for kindergarten. They include self-reliance, self-discipline, and the ability to form healthy relationships—skills that they will use for life.

BUILDING MATHEMATICAL COMPETENCIES IN EARLY CHILDHOOD

This film deals with the WHY's, WHAT's, and HOW's of including rich, developmentally appropriate mathematics experiences for young children in Pre-Kindergarten classrooms:

WHY? Research indicates the long lasting educational benefits young children take with them from positive introductions to key math concepts and ways of thinking quantitatively.

WHAT? The film illustrates several "BIG ideas" that should be the focus of early math experiences as presented by experts from Erikson Institute's Early Mathematics Education Project.

HOW? Lively footage of five very different Pre-K classrooms demonstrates how foundational math can be joyful incorporated in both informal and planned activities.

BUILDING LITERACY COMPETENCIES IN EARLY CHILDHOOD

With Elena Bodrova, Ph.D. and Deborah Leong, Ph.D.

We have always wanted all children to read and write fluently. But with our growing dependence on computer based communication and the return of public interest in early schooling, much attention is being paid to the attainment of literacy. Fortunately, some of this interest has resulted in careful research into what skills, understandings and attitudes are necessary prerequisites for success in the primary grades.

Filmed in several multicultural preschool and kindergarten classrooms, this film reviews the underlying cognitive, social and physical requirements for all formal education and then presents the literacy specific understandings and skills that are being widely cited, but not always adequately described. Along with instructive visuals from these classrooms, serious scholarship and clever graphics are combined to introduce students to current concepts and the specialized vocabulary pertaining to the development of literacy. Rejecting the "either/or" approach of the reading wars, this video presents an integrated vision of how the precursors of literacy grow from appropriate experiences provided by thoughtful adults to the children in their care.

CLASSIFICATION, SERIATION, AND NUMBER (EARLY MATH)

As young children explore their environment, they begin to notice relationships between similar things and to develop rules for treating things the same or differently, based on characteristics like color, size, shape, and texture.

Understanding these relationships and rules is the beginning of math learning. This program provides strategies adults can use to encourage math exploration by recognizing and making the most of math learning opportunities in daily life.
Both the booklet and the program show examples of children participating in math-related experiences.
