Do you remember someone in your early life who really knew you? Someone who “saw” you; acknowledged your individuality; and respected and responded to your unique qualities, characteristics, and interests? Such invaluable connections not only foster healthy development but also can unlock exhilarating pathways to learning. Teachers who get to know and support children as individuals build trusting and safe relationships essential to children being willing to take the risks needed to meet the challenges of learning. In addition, curriculum that inspires learning is based on what children want to learn, what they are interested in, and what piques their curiosity.
