Creativity: Exploring the Socio-Emotional and Cognitive Domains (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781681258744)

Part of the Quick Reference Guides for Early Childhood Best Practices, this convenient pack of 5 laminated, six-page primers gives early childhood educators practical guidance on how to recognize and foster creative thinking in young children. Colorful graphics, lists, and tips instantly engage teachers and give them an at-a-glance understanding of:

• why nurturing young children's creativity matters--and why it's not synonymous with artistic talent
• which key characteristics creative people share
• how to encourage children's creativity in multiple ways throughout the school day

These developmentally appropriate practices are ready to use with children from birth to five across settings: in homes, classrooms, or professional learning environments.

Also available as an individual guide!
