Teaching Scaffolding To Early Childhood Educators: Action Research in Supportive Learning Practices (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780228810308)

One of the most important endeavors that either a caregiver or a professional can embark on is the dispensing of knowledge and basic skills to a student, especially during the student's formative, early years of life. This book takes the reader through both the process and critical principles necessary to teach in a way that sets the course for both the educator and student to effectively grow in the transfer and pursuit of knowledge. It also gives educators insight into providing students the confidence necessary in achieving the often daunting task of learning.

The author takes on this study by using her 30 years of working in childhood development as well as her recent active research from the University of Yorkville in the study of Masters in Education Studies. With the basis of this book on educational empowerment, she takes the reader through the process of "teaching the teacher" (aka scaffolding) as well as providing insight from world renowned psychologists and educators such as Piaget and Vygotsky. Upon reading this work, you will readily find it to be a key resource for parent, teacher, and all other dispensers of knowledge.
