Book Description
"A greatly needed book at a time when creativity, curiosity and problem solving are moving over to make room for high-pressure academics. Loaded with good ideas for activities. The author′s creativity shows!" —Janet Gonzalez-Mena, Consultant and Early Childhood Specialist Author, Dragon Mom and Diversity in Early Care and Education "Patricia Dischler′s hands-on experience and love of early learning radiate throughout Teaching the 3 C′s. As a defender of childhood, I am most impressed by the way she promotes play, exploration, and discovery in simple and engaging ways. Put down the video games, turn off the TV, and pick up this book." —Jeff A. Johnson, Owner Explorations Early Learning LLC Cultivate the 3 Cs in young learners to strengthen future academic achievement! Research shows that children with positive social skills, a creative nature, and a love of learning are more likely to experience success in later school years. However, today′s emphasis on early exposure to academic content means little attention is given to developing the affective skills that can make a critical difference in a child′s future. Based on her extensive experience in early childhood education, Patricia A. Dischler bridges the gap and demonstrates how incorporating the three Cs—creativity, curiosity, and courtesy—into classroom instruction can support the development of academic skills. This resource shows how to promote school readiness by giving children a desire to learn, teaching them how to learn, and nurturing empathy, emotional intelligence, and problem solving. The book provides: Abundant activities that are fun, easy to use, and developmentally appropriate Engaging sidebars highlighting teacher/student dialogue Methods for integrating the 3 Cs into the curriculum and meeting state standards Recommendations of related children′s books Activities indexed by state standards for easy curriculum planning Practical, insightful, and brimming with wisdom, Teaching the 3 Cs illustrates how to foster young students′ lifelong enthusiasm for learning and give them the foundation to succeed!

American Music Librarianship
Author: Carol June Bradley

ISBN: 1135476470
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 442
Book Description
The literature of American music librarianship has been around since the 19th century when public libraries began to keep records of player-piano concerts, significant donations of books and music, and suggestions for housing music. As the 20th century began, American periodicals printed more and more articles on increasingly specialized topics within music studies. Eventually books were developed to aid the music librarian; their publication has continued over the course of nearly a century. This book reflects the great diversity of the literature of music librarianship. The main resources included are items of historical interest, descriptions of individual collections, catalogues of collections, articles describing specific library functions, record-related subjects, bibliographies designed for music library use, literature from Canada and Britain when relevant to U.S. library practices, key discographies, and information on specialized music research. The material is ordered by topic and indexed by author, subject, and library name.

Creative Drama and Music Methods
Author: Janet E. Rubin
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield Publishers
ISBN: 144220463X
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 149
Book Description
The third edition of this popular text uses music and drama to promote learning across the curriculum and with all types of learners. Based on arts integration standards, differentiated instruction techniques, and current research, Creative Drama and Music Methods provides the theory along with applications to help teachers build confidence in using the arts in their daily lesson plans. The text is filled with hands-on activities that guide pre-service and K-8th grade teachers in understanding that integrating drama and music is easy, fun, and vital to fostering a child's desire to explore, imagine, and learn. Examples are provided in each chapter, along with the purpose of the activity and tips for instruction. Rubin and Merrion provide activities that engage elementary and middle school students and range from simple stories and rhythmic activities to story dramatization and composition. All the activities can be comfortably incorporated into the classroom routine and place no additional burdens on the teacher. They are especially useful for educators with valid learning goals but limited experience in creative drama and music. Not typical for creative drama or music texts, Creative Drama and Music Methods takes a process approach to the two arts, placing primary significance on the learner's growth and development.

A Way of Music Education
Author: C. Victor Fung
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0190234466
Category : Juvenile Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 241
Book Description
Moving back through Dewey, Heidegger, Nietzsche, and Rousseau, the lineage of Western music education finds its origins in Plato and Pythagoras. Yet theories not rooted in the ancient Greek tradition are all but absent. A Way of Music Education provides a much-needed intervention, integrating ancient Chinese thought into the canon of music education in a structured, systematized, and philosophical way. The book's three central sources - the Yijing (The Book of Changes), Confucianism, and Daoism - inform author C. Victor Fung's argument: that the human being exists as an entity at the center of an organismic world in which all things and events, including music and music education, are connected. Fung ultimately proposes a new educational philosophy based on three key ideas in Chinese thought: change, balance, and liberation. A unique work, A Way of Music Education offers a universal approach engrained in a specific and ancient cultural tradition.
