Power, Sally; Rhys, Mirain; Taylor, Chris; Waldron, Sam – Review of Education, 2019
Debates on how best to educate young children have been raging over the last 100 years--more often fuelled by ideological preferences rather than empirical evidence. To some extent this is hardly surprising given the difficulty of examining pupil progress in a systematic and comparative way. However, the introduction of a new child-centred…

Macy, Marisa; Bagnato, Stephen J.; Gallen, Robert – ZERO TO THREE, 2016

Gronlund, Gaye; Stewart, Kathy – Young Children, 2011
Excellent teachers in early childhood programs are intentional in all they do with and for children.

Intentionality is a key message in "Developmentally Appropriate Practice…

Katz, Lilian G. – Young Children, 1994
Many drug abuse prevention programs and materials, such as the "Smart Choices" newsletter for kindergartners, are developmentally inappropriate for young children.
