About Building Blocks For Teaching Preschoolers With
Product Description Endorsed by DEC as supporting Recommended Practices! Expanded with timely new content and consistent with DEC Recommended Practices, the third edition of this bestselling book will fully prepare a new generation of early childhood educators to teach and include every child. Like the groundbreaking previous editions, this updated Building Blocks guide gives pre‐ and inservice teachers three types of practical, evidence‐based inclusion strategies: curriculum modifications, embedded learning opportunities, and child‐focused instructional strategies. Educators will learn how to apply these three strategies for the benefit of all children; review the latest research that supports the Building Blocks model; and find ready‐to‐use tips and guidance on key topics, such as fostering friendships, encouraging independence, and promoting positive behavior. Reproducible forms help with planning and assessment, and seven comprehensive new training modules make it easy to teach the Building Blocks framework in college courses and professional development sessions. Equally useful as a student‐friendly textbook and a go‐to inclusion guide for practicing educators, this is a resource teachers will return to again and again for proven, easy‐to‐use strategies that support the success of every young learner.

View our recorded webinar: presented by Susan Sandall, Ph.D. Review "I am pleased to see that the new edition of Building Blocks contains many of the elements from the second edition that are so helpful to teachers who work in inclusive classrooms (e.g., useful forms, vignettes, suggestions for modifications according to activities in a child's day). However, there are excellent additions that make it worthwhile to acquire the 3rd edition of Building Blocks. Notably, the authors have added information on STEAM and executive functioning. Both are topics that are regularly considered in today's early childhood programs. I am especially excited about the professional development modules that will accompany the book when purchased. Building Blocks has been a useful text for our undergraduate Interdisciplinary Early Childhood Education certification program. Having modules available that match the topics of the book will prove very useful for faculty who choose the book as a text for their classes." -- Jennifer Grisham-Brown, Ed.D.
