A Peek into the Classroom - Looking forward to leading a workshop about the planning process with @ChaptersInt in January 2020 Early childhood classrooms benefit from high levels of intentionality. What lies behind our decisions and what underpinning values guide our thinking?

Unsurprising but newly relevant: A 2019 study found that when parents feel "pressured, inadequate, & isolated," they have less energy for their child and are more likely to "impose their own agenda on their child" rather than supporting his/her autonomy: is.gd/k96uH7
