Beskrivning

In Living Stories: Nontraditional College Students in Early Childhood Education, Susan Bernheimer takes the reader into her journey with a group of nontraditional college students. Bernheimer’s struggle to find a meaningful approach to teaching the students about early childhood development and care is infused with the insights and wisdom that come from listening to, and valuing, the remarkable stories of her students’ lives. This book offers a powerful new road map for early childhood teacher preparation through a relational pedagogy that honors students’ life experiences and that leads to deep reflection and learning. The approach is embedded in students’ strengths and knowledge and is successfully inclusive of an increasingly diverse student demographic. Bernheimer provides an inclusive model of education that builds upon the strengths of all students.

Recensioner i media

“In this gem for early childhood teacher educators, Susan Bernheimer shows us how to create transformative learning experiences for our students that will, in turn, transform us as teachers. Through insightful stories of teaching and learning with nontraditional students, she asks us to take a hard look at ourselves and who our curriculum serves. As she lovingly and sensitively brings her students’ lived experiences to the center of the learning process, she opens doors to relevance, empowerment, and profound meaning-making. It is a clarion call for rethinking our priorities and re-envisioning our pedagogy.A lifelong learner herself, Susan provides a roadmap for becoming a reflective practitioner, authentically modeling what we ask of our students and finding our own humanity in the process. It is one teacher’s journey with lessons for us all.”—Judy Magee, Faculty, School of Human Development, Pacific Oaks College
