I'm in total agreement with you! Joy/NC/4 How children learn is as important as what they learn: process and content go hand in hand. http://www.responsiveclassroom.org
----- Original Message ---- From: Renee <[email protected]> Joy, I am very concerned with the movement toward more and more explicit, direct instruction, especially when presented with a certain end goal in mind, usually a "right answer" goal. I agree that it is more important for children to be able to do something than to know what to call it. I think it is AFTER they do it that you give it a name, not before. But that's just me.
