The teaching guidelines, presented as working papers, are related to the training of preschool assistants, child development center assistants, early childhood assistants, and preschool children's assistants. Content, learning experiences, and resources included are based on an analysis of tasks that workers perform in working with young children. Teaching units deal with child development background, learning experiences for young children, routine activities, food, equipment and facilities, emergency procedures, and an orientation to the career aspects of child care occupations (employee qualities and opportunities, obtaining a job, and job ethics). Each unit categorizes unit objectives, knowledge level, learning experiences, and resources for learning. Additional references of books, pamphlets/bulletins, and films/filmstrips are included in the appendix. (EA)
