Curriculum should grow out of real home, work, and other life situations.
Teachers shouldn't only teach subject matter but, how to also live in society.
-
Invest in observation, planning, organization, and documentation.
Teachers must tap into children's general knowledge of the world to help children make sense of their surroundings and experiences.
Children need teachers to decide what is safe and also developmentally and individually appropriate for them.
Confidence should spring from the base of knowledge that the teacher applies to classroom situations.
