Topic Work in the Early Years Organizing the Curriculum for 4-To 8-Year-Olds

With the help of case studies, Joy Palmer and Deirdre Pettitt give guidance on the planning and assessment of topic work within and across subjects. They show topics can be planned to fulfill specific curricular requirements while retaining the particular virtues of the topic approach: flexibility in the use of time and resources, greater coverage of certain areas, and differentiation of tasks among children at various stages of their development.Palmer, Joy A. is the author of 'Topic Work in the Early Years Organizing the Curriculum for 4-To 8-Year-Olds', published 1993 under ISBN 9780415080415 and ISBN 041508041X.
