Epstein provides a framework for creating powerful learning experiences for young children across the many domains of development.</p> <p>--Ben Mardell, Professor of Early Childhood Education, Lesley University</p> <p>The debates are over--or they should be. Epstein marshals research and practical wisdom to get beyond arguments about "child-centered" versus "adult-centered" teaching strategies. With the help of this book, the intentional teacher skillfully blends both, promoting positive development for every child. Great for new and experienced teachers alike.</p> <p>--Marilou Hyson, Early Childhood Consultant and Adjunct Professor, University of Pennsylvania</p> <p>Many teachers get so busy in the classroom that they forget they are decision makers. The Intentional Teacher is a rich resource that teachers, coaches, and program leaders can use to fuel conversations about child- and adult-guided experiences and to build knowledge and skills around intentional decision making.</p> <p>--Judy Jablon and Amy Laura Dombro, coauthors (with Charlotte Stetson) of Powerful Interactions: How to Connect With Children to Extend Their Learning</p> <p>This comprehensive update has been expanded to include all the curriculum domains and much new knowledge about children's learning, resulting in this valuable contribution to early childhood educators!</p> <p>--Carol Copple, Consultant </p> <p>Deeply respectful of the role that teachers play in children's lives, Epstein brings to life a sophisticated approach to teaching that is both committed to child development principles and sensitive to the demands of educational content. This book is a must-read for educators, parents, advocates, and policy makers.</p> <p>--Travis Wright, Assistant Professor, Early Childhood Education, University of Wisconsin-Madison</p> <p>Productive play and learning are the result of teacher intentionality. Epstein has given teachers a guidebook for what it means to be intentional in everything they do in programs with young children. This book is indispensable.</p> <p>--Frances Carlson, Lead Instructor, Early Childhood Care and Education Department, Chattahoochee Technical College, and author of Big Body Play: Why Boisterous, Vigorous, and Very Physical Play Is Essential to Children's Development and Learning</p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Ann S.
