Recensioner i media

In Today's Youth, Tomorrow's Leader, Dr. Guha reminds readersof the tremendous potential of young children to learn, and affirms 'developmentally appropriate' ways to assist them to develop cognitive, social, and emotional competencies. Specifically, she highlights the ways caretakers can engage, motivate, and support children to acquire and practice evolving skills and understandings, and nurture their sense of responsibility and ownership for learning. Dr. Guha's practical and explicit recommendations are refreshing to read, and easy to implement, modify, or extend. She has provided future directions for teaching and learning in the early years.
