Texbooks

Rebecca,
You asked about a timeline for this process and I am very flexible. I can have things to you from my files by the end of the week! However, perusing the websites may take longer as not all urls are still functional.

You also mentioned scenario problem solving activities. Most of the textbooks I get from the publisher have DVD's in them with scenarios. One class did not get the DVD's but otherwise they have proven beneficial to my classes! Suzanne and I also have students visit classrooms and centers and report a variety of information back to the forum. Scenarios can be achieved through that process as well. We have had positive feedback about those visits thus far, but it is anew feature and we only have one group to go by.

Since textbooks seemed to be the first priority for you I have compiled a list of texts I have used in my classes. See below. I have noted which classes Suzanne and I team teach as well. Suzanne and I also send out copies of the Vermont Early learning Standards (VELs) to our students in Fostering Creative Learning, Early Childhood Education and Curriculum Development.

  1. Almost forgot! I also taught Multiculturalism in Education but have not taught it under the new title. SO, I am not providing the text I used for that class because it won't work with the current class.
