Review: The Children's Foundation Child Care Bulletin - August 2, 2011
The Art of Awareness is designed to offer ideas, activities, and experiences about observation. In this book, the authors have forged a way to help teachers develop a sense of who each child really is and in the process find out more about themselves and their teaching. Observing children is an important way caregivers and teachers can watch individualized development and be with a child.
Review: Childhood Education - August 2, 2011
The Art of Awareness is an irresistible invitation to a journey of self-refection and discovery. The rich and inspiring language and quotes reflect the authors' deep respect for children and remind all of the joys of being a teacher
The Art of Awareness is an excellent resource that can be used individually or in a group setting by teachers and caregivers who want to nurture children's learning and development through observation. Its supportive structure makes it a perfect college textbook for courses related to child development and early childhood assessment.
