This book focuses on children from birth through age 8, and the role of learning stories in promoting new connections between authentic assessment and critical pedagogy in each child's education. The Learning Stories approach can help educators find new avenues toward improving how and why we observe, document, and reflect upon children's learning and development. The book is intended for early childhood teachers (infant/toddler, preschool, primary grades, regular and special education) taking courses at the AA, BA, and MA levels, as well as teachers engaged in on-site professional development through professional learning communities, inquiry groups, book clubs, and other forms of professional collaboration and dialogue. The book is also intended for administrators, professional development specialists, instructional coaches, and teacher educators who work with teachers to improve assessment, instruction, relationships with families, and collegial team building and collaboration.
