Child Originated Programming

Is teacher-led programming, based on children’s interests, truly child-centered? Explore the dichotomy of teacher-led programming based on children’s interests and child-originated, inquiry-based programming. Explore factors that assist in identifying authentic group interests, including the role environment and material plays. Through reflection, we will consider the role educators play as co-researchers in engaging, supporting, and documenting the learning of the child/group.
