Clifford, Senior Scientist Emeritus, Debby Cryer, Scientist Emerita, all at the Frank Porter Graham Child Development Institute, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

ECERS-3 builds on the solid foundation of best practice established in ECERS-R. ECERS-3 provides a reliable instrument for teachers, technical assis-tants, and quality monitors to use to ensure that children have experiences and relationships that support total child development.

Michele Bossers, former associate director and ERS project manager of PA Key

When EC assessment dollars are tight, a compre-hensive tool that identifies a broad range of pro-gram strengths and captures critical interactions is the perfect solution. Thanks to the authors for ECERS-3!

Janice Carter, Childhood Services, Arkansas State University

The long-anticipated new version of the internationally recognized Early Childhood Environment Rating Scale, ECERS-3 focuses on the full range of needs of preschool- and kindergarten-aged children. More compre-hensive than previous editions, ECERS-3 measures both environmental provisions and teacher-child interactions that affect the broad developmental needs of young children, including cognitive, social-emotional, physical, and health and safety. ECERS-3 also includes additional Items assessing literacy and math activities.

Suitable for use in inclusive and culturally diverse programs, ECERS-3 subscales evalu-ate: Space and Furnishings Personal Care Routines Language and Literacy Learning Activities Interaction Program Structure

Current users of the ECERS-R can look forward to a smooth transition to the new ECERS-3 when they are ready. (ECERS-R is still available for purchase).2015/104 pp./PB, $22.95/5570-9 large format, spiral binding

Becoming Young ThinkersDeep Project Work in the ClassroomJudy Harris Helm is a national and international speaker and trainer on project work through her consulting company, Best Practices Inc.

Foreword by Lilian G. Katz

Throughout the book, examples and sugges-tions make clear the important distinctions between the deep investigations involved in project work versus the fairly common superficial theme activities too often seen in pre-school and elemen-tary school classes.

From the Foreword by Lilian G. Katz, past president, NAEYC

Continuing the exploration of project work in the authors bestselling book, Young Investigators, Second Edition, this book is designed for preschool through primary grade teachers who know how to do project work but are ready to move to the next level. Focusing on how children become young thinkers, the book begins with mind, brain, and education science and instructional guidelines for all learning experiences, and then connects these to the rich foundation of the project approach. Helm provides specific strategies for deep-ening project work, including how to select meaningful topics, plan for projects, integrate standards (including the Common Core), sup-port childrens questioning, create provocations to promote engagement, and help children rep-resent their ideas. This practical resource will extend practitioners knowledge about project-based learning so they can move beyond the basics to create project work that is more engaging, meaningful, and productive.

Book Features: An analysis worksheet for applications of

Deweys vision of child-centered learning. Charts for integrating CCSS for English

Language Arts and Mathematics in kindergarten projects.

A teacher reflection form for evaluating the depth of project work.

Exploring Mathematics Through Play in the Early Childhood ClassroomAmy Noelle Parks is associate professor of Mathematics Education at Michigan State University and former elementary school teacher.

Foreword by Elizabeth Graue

Exploring Mathemat-ics Through Play in the Early Childhood Class-room is one of those books that I wish I had written. It is smart, read-able, relevant, and authentically focused on children.

From the Foreword by Elizabeth Graue, University of Wisconsin

Through vignettes of children learning math-ematics as they play, Parks helps teachers recognize their answerability to the moment, eschewing someone elses determination of best practice in favor of what works with actual chil-dren eager to learn mathematics.

Rebecca New, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

This practical book provides pre- and inser-vice teachers with an understanding of how math can be learned through play. The author helps teachers to recognize the mathematical learning that occurs during play, to develop strategies for mathematizing that play, and to design formal lessons that make connections between mathematics and play. Common Core State Standards are addressed throughout the text to demonstrate the ways in which play is critical to standards-based mathematics teach-ing, and to help teachers become more familiar with these standards. Classroom examples illustrate that, unlike most formal tasks, play offers children opportunities to solve nonrou-tine problems and to demonstrate a variety of mathematical ways of thinkingsuch as per-severance and attention to precision. This book will help put play back into the early childhood classroom where it belongs.

Book Features: Makes explicit connections to play and

the Common Core State Standards in Mathematics.

Offers many examples of free play activities in which mathematics can be highlighted, as well as formal lessons that are inspired by play.

Provides strategies for making assessments more playful, helping teachers meet increasing demands for assessment data while also reducing child stress.

Includes highlight boxes with recommended resources, questions for reflection, key research findings, vocabulary, lesson plan templates, and more.

Audience: Teachers (PK2), teacher educators, curriculum developers, professional developers; courses in early childhood education, play, teach-ing mathematics.

This new book explains how to teach.

bodys micro-actions in their teaching. Presents mindfulness techniques, the
