Nancy Alexander Publishes New TextbookSML Foundation Board Member, Nancy P. Alexander, recently published a new textbook, Developing Appropriate Curriculum for Young Children. The book is a comprehensive guide on how to build and implement engaging and developmentally appropriate curriculum for young children. Content is devoted to developing not only the "whole child," but also the "whole classroom" and the "whole community" by introducing a streamlined focus on familial and community inclusion, drawing on Nancy's many years of experience in early childhood education. Nancy is the Executive Director of the Northwestern State University Child and Familiy Network, and president for the North Louisiana Chapter of the American Society for Training and Development (ASTD). Join us in congratulating Nancy on this latest accomplishment!
