Overview
The kindergarten classroom is a place of immense possibilities. It is there, in the first year of their education, that children are most likely to be instilled with a love of learning. It is the role of the teacher, using equal parts magic and method, to turn that possibility into reality. In Producing Brilliant Children, you will learn all you need to know to turn burgeoning young minds into accomplished scholars. Follow Dr. Lloyd through a full school year of detailed lesson plans, complete with craft templates, reading lists, and instructions for specific classroom situations. Drawing on decades of hands-on teaching experience and extensive scholarly research, Producing Brilliant Children goes well beyond the basics, exploring not only how to effectively teach reading and writing, but also how to deal with school administrators, how to spot and instruct gifted children and how to handle the particular issues of teaching in an underprivileged school system with students of low socio-economic status.
Filled with passion and wisdom, Producing Brilliant Children is the teaching manual every veteran will wish they had and every newcomer will treasure.
