A warm and comprehensive child-centered approach to early childhood educationWho Am I in the Lives of Children? An Introduction to Early Childhood Education reflects a practical, constructivist approach to early childhood education (birth to grade 3) and care programs that is dedicated to the development of the whole child–physical, social, emotional, and intellectual. With its highly readable personal voice, appealing photographs, authentic children’s classroom work, and engaging stories, it allows readers to visualize effective classroom practices that speak to each child’s strengths, interests, and challenges. This understanding–coupled with contemporary, research-based information–inspires readers to support each child’s growth and learning in ways that are in harmony with who they are, rather than according to a predetermined plan. The 11th Edition of Who Am I in the Lives of Children? is also available via RevelTM, an interactive learning environment that enables students to read, practice, and study in one continuous experience.

This introductory text contains the entire Feeney textbook plus California-specific standards and chapter/page correlations to the Feeney textbook. It was created by a California professor to familiarize students with the following: California Child Development Permit Matrix, the Student Learning Outcomes from the Principles and Practices of Teaching Young Children course description (and correlations to show where the Outcomes are addressed in the Feeney textbook), an explanation of California's Preschool Learning System, and a detailed listing of the Preschool Learning Foundations and its focus on what children enrolled in high-quality child care and development programs can be expected to be able to do at around 48 months (4 years old) and around 60 months (5 years old). If a field experience, student teaching, or practicum experience is included in this course, the foundations should come in handy as students observe and work with young children.
This material helps faculty provide the information students need to implement the California Preschool Learning Foundations, the Desired Results for Children and Families, the Prekindergarten Learning and Development Guidelines, and the curriculum frameworks when they enter the work force.
The eighth edition of Who Am I in the Lives of Children? has some substantial enhancements to previous editions. This introductory text presents a child—centered, constructivist approach to early childhood education and care programs in a range of contemporary settings. Its clear, conceptual framework and integration of principles and practices assist students in understanding the important values of the field and how these translate into programs for young children. It helps them to develop their own philosophy and teaching style and encourages them to reflect on their values and actions.
The authors' straightforward, conversational writing style, and appealing color photographs and art appeals to a wide-range of students. With its focus on respecting children, ethics, and personal and professional development of teachers of young children, it has become one of most well received books in the field.
