Overview
This complete movement education resource for early childhood and physical education professionals teaches students the importance of movement in the physical, emotional, and educational growth of children. The text is the only one of its kind to teach movement's role in traditional child development areas--physical, affective, and cognitive--as well as to detail musical and creative development. EXPERIENCES IN MUSIC AND MOVEMENT, Fifth Edition, presents an entire movement program, including lesson planning, guidelines for music selection and usage, developmentally appropriate teaching methods, and tried-and-true tips for creating and maintaining a positive learning environment with children on the move.
- Expanded and updated coverage of standards, including NAYEC and INTASC, ensures that students are informed about current educational goals and expectations.
- New marginal callouts identify NAEYC standards-related material throughout the text. In addition, a new correlation chart linking the standards to text content provides an easy-to-use reference guide.
- Increased coverage of diversity and multiculturalism throughout the text reflects the changing cultural makeup of the modern classroom.
- Expanded and updated coverage of technology reflects the increasing use of technology tools in the classroom.
- A new video feature, integrated into the text with reflection questions, introduces videos that further illustrate key concepts. Videos are available for viewing at the Early Childhood Education Media Library.
- Add infant-based content to your course with information that is appropriate for use with newborns and babies.
- Help your students learn how to address the growing problem of sedentary children, and understand the impact of inactivity on weight and health.
- Show students how to weave music and movement into their days with lesson plans, music selections, and developmentally appropriate teaching methods that prepare them to make movement a part of every lesson.
- Offer enhanced learning and research opportunities with practical chapter assignments.
- Guide students to additional resources with helpful website URLs at the end of each chapter, and end-of-text references to sources for ordering recordings, musical instruments, equipment, and more.
- Meet the needs of students and practitioners who teach or will teach children ages birth to eight years, with this one-of-a-kind movement and music resource.
- Provide the most current information available with the text's practical references, such as Appropriate Practice in Movement Programs for Children Ages Three to Five from the National Association for Sport and Physical Education (found in the appendices).
