The Unscripted Classroom: Emergent Curriculum in Action

by Susan Stacey

Emergent curriculum encourages early childhood educators to use creativity and flexibility as they respond to classroom challenges and children’s interests. Filled with case studies and stories from toddler and preschool teachers about their experiences responding to events in their own classrooms, The Unscripted Classroom provides inspiration for educators to step out of their usual scripts and try something new. A review of the emergent curriculum philosophy and an examination of the many ways creativity in teaching benefits children are included. This resource complements Emergent Curriculum in Early Childhood From Theory to Practice by the same author.

Helpful for anyone looking to read through practical examples of how to implement emergent curriculum, but, unfortunately, much of the content can be found in the emergent curriculum textbook (which I believe was published before this one). So if you're looking for explicit support after having read the other book, this may be helpful.
