The What, Why, and How of High-Quality Early Childhood Education: A Guide for On-Site Supervision (Naeyc, #336)

An invaluable tool for the director/supervisor striving to identify what aspects of an early childhood program need improvement, this book gives staff feedback that really alters their practice. It is equally useful in helping teachers or caregivers take a thoughtful look at their own practices. Used in college courses, the book's detailed descriptions of what one should see in good programs (and why) give students a strong foundation of child development knowledge and of principles translated into practice.
