In Einstein Never Used Flashcards highly credentialed child psychologists, Kathy Hirsh-Pasek, Ph.D., and Roberta Michnick Golinkoff, Ph.D., with Diane Eyer, Ph.D., offer a compelling indictment of the growing trend toward accelerated learning. It's a message that stressed-out parents are craving to hear: Letting tots learn through play is not only okay-it's better than drilling academics! Drawing on overwhelming scientific evidence from their own studies and the collective research results of child development experts, and addressing the key areas of development-math, reading, verbal communication, science, self-awareness, and social skills-the authors explain the process of learning from a child's point of view. They then offer parents 40 age-appropriate games for creative play. These simple, fun--yet powerful exercises work as well or better than expensive high-tech gadgets to teach a child what his ever-active, playful mind is craving to learn.

Book excerpt: Children are already learning at birth, and they develop and learn at a rapid pace in their early years. This provides a critical foundation for lifelong progress, and the adults who provide for the care and the education of young children bear a great responsibility for their health, development, and learning. Despite the fact that they share the same objective - to nurture young children and secure their future success - the various practitioners who contribute to the care and the education of children from birth through age 8 are not acknowledged as a workforce unified by the common knowledge and competencies needed to do their jobs well. Transforming the Workforce for Children Birth Through Age 8 explores the science of child development, particularly looking at implications for the professionals who work with children. This report examines the current capacities and practices of the workforce, the settings in which they work, the policies and infrastructure that set qualifications and provide professional learning, and the government agencies and other funders who support and oversee these systems. This book then makes recommendations to improve the quality of professional practice and the practice environment for care and education professionals. These detailed recommendations create a blueprint for action that builds on a unifying foundation of child development and early learning, shared knowledge and competencies for care and education professionals, and principles for effective professional learning. Young children thrive and learn best when they have secure, positive relationships with adults who are knowledgeable about how to support their development and learning and are responsive to their individual progress. Transforming the Workforce for Children Birth Through Age 8 offers guidance on system changes to improve the quality of professional practice, specific actions to improve professional learning systems and workforce development, and research to continue to build the knowledge base in ways that will directly advance and inform future actions. The recommendations of this book provide an opportunity to improve the quality of the care and the education that children receive, and ultimately improve outcomes for children.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2004 in the subject Pedagogy - Orthopaedagogy and Special Education, grade: 1, Neisse University Görlitz, course: Heilpädagogik/Behindertenpädagogik, language: English, abstract: Working on the “Remedial Educational Game” presentation as part of the seminar “Remedial Educational Intervention I” encouraged me to continue working on this topic in this paper. The subject of games is very extensive and cannot be dealt with without specific questions. With this paper, I would like to give a little insight into the "phenomenon of play" and show its possibilities in curative education intervention. The starting point for this are the theoretical foundations of the game, such as features, theories and classification. On the basis of these theoretical approaches, the importance of play in child development is presented in the following chapters. In this context, I will go into the changed play and living worlds of today and their possible effects on children. Then I turn my attention specifically to the play of mentally handicapped children. The conclusion of the work should be an illumination of the "curative pedagogical exercise treatment" according to OY and SAGI as a form of intervention. In my personal concluding remarks, however, I will include some critical reflections on this concept.
