Beginnings and Beyond, 7th Edition, is designed to assist students in gaining essential knowledge and skills to become effective, competent teachers and caregivers. Five distinct sections covering fifteen chapters answer the key questions every student of early childhood education wants answered: What is the Field? Who is the Child? Who is the Teacher? What is Being Taught? and What are the Issues? Expanded information on curriculum, along with the concepts of multiple intelligence, ecological theory, and NAEYC's Code of Ethical Conduct, highlights the importance of maintaining an awareness of each child's needs and interests. Special features of the text include ?Our Diverse World? sidebars, which weave issues of diversity throughout the text; Guest Editorials; and Focus Boxes, which engage students in practical application of the material and are contributed by professionals to illustrate key points within the chapters. This well-organized material is enhanced by a host of sidebars, photos, chapter activities, integrated technology, and more.
