The Exploring Childhood Materials

This listing of materials is based on the 1980 booklet Exploring Childhood: Program Overview and Catalog of Materials (PDF, 5MB). That booklet also contains an extended description of the materials and their places within the Exploring Childhood curriculum and is highly recommended as an entry point. This listing contains additions - at the beginning - of introductory materials - and at the end - of other materials not included in that catalog. In this catalog the curriculum has been broken up into eight parts, an alternative to the three module structure presented on the laft-hand menu. These sections are: Getting Started With Exploring Childhood, Healthy Development, Infancy, Family and Society, Children With Special Needs, Child Abuse and Treatment, Preschool, Single-Parent Families, For Program Leaders and Teachers, 16mm Films, and in adition, Materials Not In the 1980 Catalog.

The text materials listed here are generally in the form of large, high quality pdf files suitable for printing. See the FAQ page for more information about how to view them, their sizes and download times. To provide additional information about each item, if you let the mouse rest over a link to it, a brief description of that item will appear.

T.G. appended to a title in the listing stands for 'Teacher's Guide'. All other materials are for the classroom. Materials listed whose names are not Web links have not yet been posted on the site.

The materials listed may not be the most recent versions. Also note that some items have been labelled in the Comments as missing. If you have possess or have knowledge of later or missing materials please contact me, George Lukas at <george@marilynfelt.com>
