Discover the dynamic space where children and adults share responsibility for learning, rather than following either a child-initiated or an adult-directed approach.

The key objectives are to encourage reflection about principles and practices, as well as broadening thinking about appropriate early curriculum content and related teaching strategies.

Teachers want to interact with children in ways that respect their different personalities, varying levels of development, diverse cultural backgrounds and individual modes of learning.

The intentional teacher: Choosing the best strategies for young children’s learning is written for teacher–educators and reflective practitioners who seek to achieve a balance between how and what to teach young children.
