This book can be course adopted in preschool and kindergarten curriculum instruction and early education methods courses in math and science. In recent years, STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) education has become a focus of attention. This may very well be the first book that specifically addresses the integration of STEM disciplines in preschool and kindergarten classrooms. More than 70 activities and 20 learning center ideas are included—they provide practical ways to integrate STEM throughout the classroom: in cooking activities, block play, sensory table, art, and music, as well as field trips and outside time. A thorough introduction to STEM education in early childhood is included, as well as a chapter on assessment and early learning standards. Much of the author’s research and teaching is in the area of STEM education. She is an assistant professor of early childhood at the University of Cincinnati after a long career as a preschool teacher and as the associate director for professional development at the Arlitt Child Care and Family Research and Education Center, the award-winning laboratory preschool to the University of Cincinnati’s College of Education.
