Watch (at least the first 2 min.)Mitch Resnik, author of Lifelong Kindergarten: Cultivating Creativity through Projects, Passions, Peers, and Play.
Dr. Risnik explains how increasingly the creative and playful learning that is iconic of a kindergarten class, is feeling the stress and pressure to become more and more like the upper grades. He says that instead, we should be expanding the Kindergarten spirit throughout the rest of schooling and throughout our entire lives. The big idea that Resnick advocates here is how playful learning, active tinkering and building supports our CREATIVITY not to mention joy. |
