From Children's Interests to Children's Thinking: Using a Cycle of Inquiry to Plan Curriculum

by Jane Tingle Broderick, Seong Bock Hong

Learn how to connect your curriculum planning to children’s interests and thinking.  With this book, educators will discover a systematic way for using documentation to design curriculum that emerges from children’s inquiries, what they wonder, and what they want to understand. Get strategies for designing a classroom environment at the start of the year to facilitate emergent inquiry curriculum. Each chapter guides teachers to document and reflect on their thinking through each of the five phases of a cycle of inquiry process, including observing, interpreting the meaning of the play they see, and developing questions to engage children.
