The book compiles six case studies from a practicum model designed and coordinated by the authors at SUNY Cortland in which action research approaches were applied to teaching challenges in early childhood classrooms. Appropriate for practiced educators as well as educators in training, this text provides a real-world look into applying Learning Standards in early childhood classrooms.
