520			_aPreschool Appropriate Practices, 4th edition, helps future and current teachers create self-directed learning environments in their classrooms. Each chapter helps students learn how to set up one type of learning center (e.g., music/dance), including instructions on what to include in the center and how children can use it. The self-directed learning approach encourages children to become involved in their own learning. A second theme emphasizes the teacher's role as a facilitator, helping readers understand how to: (1) observe children's developmental levels, (2) provide developmentally appropriate activities, (3) serve as a behavior model, and (4) best support children in their learning.
