Thinking outside of the box Thursday: How do we find balance between intentional teaching and self-directed learning?
As early learning professionals, it can be challenging to find balance between intentionally teaching or instructing children and allowing them to engage in self-directed learning. How do you try to find this balance? How do you support children by providing engaging and exciting learning opportunities, while also allowing for choice, individuality, and creativity?
We ensure our environment is set up with purposeful invitations to play but also allow children to move those materials from one place to another to allow for choice and creativity.
