Unleash Children's Spirits

No pessimist ever discovered the secrets of the stars, or sailed to an uncharted land, or opened a new heaven to the human spirit.
Helen Keller

Writing in an Out of the Box Training Kit, "Are Your Children In Times Square? Moving from Confinement to Engagement," authors Sandra Duncan and Michelle Salcedo discuss what they call "three confinement-busting strategies for creating expectations to enable children’s individuality:

  1. Reflect children’s interests in the classroom by planning experiences which mirror their conversations and play.
  2. Tear down the behavior chart.
  3. Question your rules. Are classroom rules for your convenience or to support children’s growth and development?"
