''The authors of the Early Childhood Environment Rating Scale are pleased to welcome the Curricular Extension to the ECERS-R, commonly referred to as... the ECERS-E, to our family of Environment Rating Scales.... We are hopeful that the use of these two related instruments will continue to facilitate the provision of engaging and productive learning environments for young children worldwide.'' -- From the Foreword by Thelma Harms, Lead author of Early Childhood Environment Rating Scale-Revised ECERS-E is designed to be used with the Early Childhood Rating Scale-Revised (ECERS-R), an internationally recognized measure of quality in education and care written by Thelma Harms, Richard M. Clifford, and Debby Cryer. It not only complements the ECERS-R but extends the scales to provide additional insights into important aspects of literacy, mathematics, science and environment as well as practices related to issues of diversity. Given the current focus on emerging literacy and numeracy skills, the ECERS-E provides unique guidance on the kinds of environments that enhance learning in preschool settings. The curriculum domains within the scales bear important relationships to children's (age 3–5) cognitive and social/behavioral developmental outcomes. Using the ECERS-E alongside the ECERS-R gives users a more complete picture of what a high-quality early childhood education program can look like. It can be used by program directors, teaching staff, agency staff, and in teacher training programs.

This is the first ECG book on the market that addresses the specific needs of those in the exercise science field. Because it's written for clinical... exercise physiologists and exercise specialists, it enables readers to tailor stress tests and cardiac rehabilitation programs to meet the needs of their patients. Beginning with an introduction to basic concepts and measurements, the book explores rhythm and atrioventricular blocks followed by discussions of such key topics as infarct, hypertrophy, axis, and conduction defects. The text includes exercise-related case studies and incorporates ACSM guidelines, so it can be used for certification candidates.
