Watch Emily Brown Hoffman and Colleen Whittingham in this informative webinar to learn first-hand about their new instructional resource, Emergent Literacy in Early Childhood. Their textbook is informed by up-to-date research, aligned to NAEYC, DAP, and the International Language Association (ILA) standards, and designed specifically for early childhood education. The text and supporting materials are rich in authentic stories to help students grasp how literacy can be experienced and encouraged inside and outside a classroom. During the webinar, Emily and Colleen will share the unique framework they used to engage students and prepare future educators as they guide children. They will also present the ​instructional strategies in the text that draw direct connections to Head Start Early Learning standards, Common Core Kindergarten standards, and the Teaching Strategies Gold framework. Finally, Emily and Colleen will share their motivation to develop a culturally responsive mindset of nonjudgmental acceptance toward all children, irrespective of the family structure, social status, or cultural beliefs. You will also learn about the print and online options available to you and your students, including an authentic video library, and have the opportunity to request a free preview sample of the online textbook and online instructor resources.
