A. Why is it important as a teacher to understand what children
are:
interested in?
thinking about?
attempting to create or problem-solve?
how does this knowledge support further development?
B. Note teaching strategies that enable you to learn about the
child or children's thinking:
decriptive language, narration
waiting for the child's or children's language, response
open-ended relevant questions based on the child's perspective
assistance with relevant additional materials
C. Vygotsky's theories of learning are based on adult: child
relationships and peer:peer interactions, what is the value
in learning and advancing development through:
specific and meaningful grasp of what the child is focused on

2. opportunity for further experience supported by
Amplification
scaffolding as assistance
through the child's perspective
intentional in the strategies and support to assist children in
