and...

  • The importance of creativity and mindfulness in developing cognitive skills.

  • The benefits of a 'pedagogy of place' for young learners to acquire new knowledge and skills within the context of familiar and personal content.

  • The benefits of integrating nature into learning for both cognitive benefits as well as an early sense of connection and subsequent responsibility for conservation and sustainability.  

  • The importance of explicit instruction for anti-bias and anti-racism integrated into all aspects of the scope and sequence of curriculum.
