An essential resource for educators and others who work with children. --James P. Comer, MD, Yale University School of MedicineYardsticks is an indispensable resource for educators who want to be responsive to the needs, talents, and aspirations of all the children they teach. --Larry Dieringer, Executive Director, Educators for Social Responsibility For forty-five years, Robert (Chip) Wood has worked on behalf of children from preschool through eighth grade as a classroom teacher, teaching principal, and teacher educator. After studying at the Gesell Institute of Human Development early in his career, Chip made developmentally based teaching the center of his educational practice. His core belief: knowing what children at each age are developmentally capable of doing physically, socially, emotionally and cognitively enables respectful, successful teaching of all children no matter their life circumstances or cultural background. A co-developer of Responsive Classroom and co-founder of Northeast Foundation for Children (now Center for Responsive Schools), Chip has served as principal of two public schools and was co-founder of Greenfield Center School. He is a facilitator for the Center for Courage & Renewal and co-creator of Leading Together, an approach focused on strengthening the adult community of schools.
Written with warmth and humor, Yardsticks offers clear descriptions of children's development. This comprehensive, user-friendly reference helps teachers and administrators use knowledge of child development to shape classrooms and schools where all children can succeed.
For each age, this book includes:
- Narrative description of developmental traits
- Charts summarizing physical, social, language, and cognitive growth patterns
- Suggestions for curricular areas: reading, writing, mathematics, and thematic units
- Favorite books for different ages.
What's new in the third edition:

Useful & Insightful This book provides a useful "snapshot" of child development, year by year. The author's love and understanding of children truly shines through as he discusses the strengths and weaknesses of each age.The book is concise and easy-to-use, and has become one of the most frequently used books in my professional library.Teachers and administrators, this is a must have! It is especially helpful for teachers working with a new age group; administrators, "floaters" and substitutes who work with many age groups; and any professional looking for clear, concise information to share with families about the developmental needs of their children.Parents, too, will enjoy this book. While it focuses on the children in the classroom, the content will ring true at home, as well!Enrich Your Knowledge of Child Development Should be in the hands of EVERY teacher, especially those who want to really understand the developmental stages of their children. I know you think you already know it, but this book adds another level of wisdom. Great help in designing appropriate activities and lessons.Helpful Book I used this book to help prepare for my Component One exam for National Boards, and it was very helpful to get a broad idea of what development and behaviors you can expect to see at each grade level.
