"For early childhood classrooms where curriculum is increasingly shaped by
standards and teachers are pressed for time Beyond Early Literacy offers a literacy method that goes beyond simply developing language arts
skills. Known as 'Shared Journal', this process promotes young children "s
learning across content areas including their communication and language
abilities, writing skills, sense of community, grasp of diverse social and
cultural worlds, and understanding of history, counting, numeracy, and time.
Pairing interactive talk with individual writing in the classroom community,
this rich method develops the whole child. Special features include: sample
lesson plans, rubrics, and templates throughout the book children "s artifacts,
including examples of oral and written work teacher accounts examining the use
of Shared Journal in the classroom ...This two-part book is first framed by current theory and research and
... The second part features strategies from on-the-ground teachers who have used the process with their students
... This is a fantastic resource for use in early childhood education courses in emergent literacy, language arts, and curriculum."

The Escondido Center campus library is named in honor of
Valley Center dairy farmer Ernest J. Allen. Thanks to a bequest from
Mr. Allen the Palomar College Library built its first 'branch', the
Ernest J. Allen Library (EJA), which opened September 22, 1997. To
further honor our benefactor the library maintains a collection of
dairy memorabilia, including a few items from the Allen dairy. The
Palomar College Foundation currently
administers investments made with the remainder of Mr. Allen's
financial gift. Interest accrued on the funds remains available to
further enhance library services to students at the Escondido
Center.
