Question Description

One- two paragraphs

You are the new director of an early childhood program which is pursuing NAEYC accreditation. Currently, your staff members rely heavily on direct, whole-group instruction to teach children new concepts.  Your job is to encourage teachers to create more child-centered, developmentally appropriate classroom environments by demonstrating the benefits of child-centered learning.

In your post you will first describe a traditional, direct instruction activity and its learning outcome (e.g., students will read a book about plants and name the parts of a plant). Then describe how teachers could meet the same outcome using a child-directed strategy. These strategies include exploratory play, guided discovery, problem solving, and discussions. You may choose to include a Youtube video of your strategy/activity and include a private link so we can view it. Please do not include children in your video.
