To support the development of a whole child, earlychildhood teachers need to be equipped with what to teach—big ideas ofcontent knowledge, how to teach—instructional methods, and who to teach—knowledge of child development in cultural contexts. This seriesof six volumes provides a landscape and road map in response to the what, how,and who questions across six early childhood curricular areas: language andliteracy, visual arts and music, health and physical education, mathematics,social and emotional learning, and science. The work presented in these sixvolumes is based on a ten-year project with hundreds of early childhoodteachers and teacher educators in China. However, its theoretical significanceand practical applications are beyond cultural boundaries in promoting effectiveteaching, meaningful assessments, and rigorous and playful curricula.
