"Michelle Salcedo in the Out of the Box Training Kit: Building Environments and Activities to Engage Children writes, "These training materials help teachers understand how certain aspects of an early childhood classroom confine children's minds, bodies, and souls. It supports teachers as they engage children on all levels.
"For young children, everything they are learning is new... Our job as teachers is to help them build a foundation of experiences on which they can build knowledge."
The training kit guides learners in the use of the HOMES Active Learning Scale to analyze planned experiences. The acronym HOMES stands for: Hands-on, Open-ended, Meaningful, Engaging, and Sensory-oriented.
