The
What Matters to
Children team principlesThe principles which underpin the work of the
What Matters to Children
team are the basis of effective learning and
teaching and include
- first hand
experience as a necessary and significant element of childhood
- children
as powerful learners who learn from each other and learn together
- children
as active learners: people who think and feel for themselves and who use
their hands, eyes, ears and their whole bodies to explore the world and
everything and everyone in it
-
intellectual engagement and emotional involvement: what matters to children
- adult
involvement in learning: what educators can do to provide, organise and
value what learners do
- educators
as powerful learners who learn from each other and learn together
- educators
who think for themselves, making choices that will ensure worthwhile
learning, learning that matters to children
- children
and educators working together to build a harmonious learning community.
The team
includes:
Jacqui Cousins, Denise Casanova,
Mary Jane Drummond, Andrea Durrant, Emma Hertzberg, Jennie Lindon, Cathy Myer,
