The authors encourage pre-K teachers to discover the value of engaging preschoolers in scientific inquiry, technological explorations, engineering challenges, and math experiences based on learning trajectories. They explain the big ideas in STEM, emphasizing teaching strategies that support these activities (such as language-rich STEM interactions), and describe ways to integrate concepts across disciplines. The text features research-based resources, examples of field-tested activities, and highlights from the classroom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing from a professional development model that was developed with funding from the National Science Foundation, this book is an essential resource for anyone who wants to support preschool children to be STEM thinkers and doers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eBook Features: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eAn introduction to current thinking in early STEM teaching and learning. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBest practice strategies for including STEM in the pre-K classroom.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAn in-depth look at the key concepts in each STEM area, including short activity descriptions, illustrations, and explanations.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eResources and models co-developed with educators and used in successful professional development.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTestimonials from educators explaining how the model connects with their curriculum.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAlissa A.
