Creative Curriculum for Toddlers Lesson Plan

Here is a picture of the actual lesson plan I have written out for my two year old class. It is based on Teaching Strategies GOLD The Creative Curriculum® for Infants, Toddlers & Twos.

According to their website the Creative Curriculum for Infants, Toddlers and Twos is "three comprehensive volumes that reflect 38 research-based objectives for development and learning, The Creative Curriculum® for Infants, Toddlers & Twos, Second Edition, Revised, retains its focus on responsive care while incorporating objectives that enable teachers to focus on what matters most for very young children. This new edition helps teachers to plan and implement every aspect of caring for and teaching children from birth to age 3.

The Three Volumes of The Creative Curriculum® for Infants, Toddlers & Twos

Volume 1: The Foundation provides the knowledge that teachers of infants, toddlers, and twos need to create responsive environments and individualize care, outlining the research behind the curriculum and discussing the five central components of nurturing care and teaching.

Volume 2: Routines and Experiences discusses the five routines and eight experiences that are essential to the development and learning of children birth to age 3, explaining how to plan intentionally while maintaining the flexibility to respond to the changing interests and abilities of young children.

Volume 3: Objectives for Development & Learning: Birth Through Kindergarten explains the skills, knowledge, and behaviors that matter most to the continuing development and learning of very young children. A tool to help teachers observe children effectively, it offers 38 objectives for development and learning that are predictive of school success and aligned with state learning standards."
