Book excerpt: By coherently combining principles of child development and social studies content, this work provides a practical guide to building a successful curriculum for preschool through grade three. In keeping with the major premise of the Teaching Young Children series, i.e., knowledge of child development is equal in importance to subject knowledge, the authors effectively intertwine social learning in young children and development of self-concept with the theme-based curriculum of the National Council for Social Studies, the principles of multicultural education, parent collaboration to support learning, and creating connections between classroom and community.
