10/25/2023 | Trusting Kids As Learners
Description
Children are wired for learning–they are good at it, eager to do it, and driven to it. Yet, too often, they are not supported in leading their own learning. Based on ideas from our book, Let Them Play, this session is about trusting kids as learners and creating environments where they are empowered and supported in leading their learning.
Learning Goals
Attendees will:
- Understand why children should be supported in leading their own learning
- Leave with ideas for creating more trusting early learning environments
- Understand that curriculum should grow from the children’s interests and existing knowledge of the world
