Connections Between Theorists

All of the theorists that we have studied have the following commonalities:

They all believe in a child centered approach to teaching.
Education must be both active and interactive.
Community is an important component of a child’s education. The classroom community, school community, neighborhood, family, etc.
They all believe that children need to be appropriately challenged.
It is important to know the children well, plan well, be organized and build on past learning and experiences.
Observation is key to understanding.
