NEW POSSIBILITIES FOR EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION...

This book speaks to the heart of an urgent task facing teacher preparation programs on campuses
at the beginning of the twenty-first century: How can college instructors work most effectively
with a new generation of nontraditional students that includes growing numbers of immigrants 
single parents  and returning homemakers struggling to find their way in large and unfamiliar
institutions? Susan Bernheimer went straight to the source for answers  interviewing
impoverished students aspiring to become teachers of young children. Revealing  poignant  and
replete with practical insights about learning and inclusion  the students' words reflect their
desire to become teachers - a desire hidden beneath their fears and silence. Their stories 
testaments to courage and faith  remind us of the pivotal role of the classroom teacher at all
levels of education. In a book filled with student narratives  classroom vignettes  and
instructional strategies  Bernheimer shows rather than tells  inspires rather than judges. She
blends research and interviews with her own classroom experience and urges educators to
integrate students' lives and voices into the curriculum. New Possibilities for Early Childhood
Education offers an inside perspective and a new vision for all classroom teachers.
