Back Cover Text

This text offers comprehensive coverage with a unique focus on learning environments--specifically, how the child's physical environment, the people the child interacts with, and the experiences the child has are all key to fostering the child's ability to adapt and learn.Through a variety of practical examples and exercises, students develop strategies for creating responsive learning communities for children and families.
