Kindergarten is the place where young minds blossom with each new opportunity to learn.  Yet how does a single classroom allow many different types of learners to succeed?  How, for example, do children in very different stages of writing mastery all contribute pages to a class book? How do students who have trouble "hearing" their own reading manage to read alongside their whispering peers? How do we keep our kinesthetic learners engaged in a conceptual math lesson? 

Master kindergarten teacher Cindy Middendorf shares her strategies for creating a nurturing, choice-based learning environment where all learners thrive. Packed with research-based tips, model lessons, photos, and student samples, this guide shows how to teach the kindergarten curriculum in a way that engages varied learning styles and taps multiple intelligences. Middendorf also shares expert advice on how to establish an effective classroom management system that supports differentiated learning.

Simple adjustments to our teaching, routines, and materials can maximize learning for all children - in any situation.
