Marenholtz-Bülow, Bertha von. - How kindergarten came to America : Friedrich Froebel's radical vision of early childhood education.

[foreword by Herbert Kohl] ; translated from the German by Horace Mann. New York : The New Press, 2007. Paperback. 269 pp. - Originally published as Reminiscences of Friedrich Froebel, this enchanting 1894 account of the German inventor of kindergartens was instrumental in bringing kindergartens to the United States. This lively portrait of a pioneer of modern education is a refreshing reminder of the essential role of play and creative exploration in the development of children. Froebel's methods provide a much-needed antidote to the current emphasis on high-stakes testing and accelerated curricula-a corruption, as Herbert Kohl argues in his foreword, of the original concept of kindergartens as children's gardens of learning. Mailorder only - Alleen verzending mogelijk. Book condition : very good. ISBN 9781595581549.
