The Theory of the Every Day
As Early Childhood Educators we use the theories of Frobel, Montessori, Vygotsky, and Gardner, and we even hear these names bandied about in training session after training session, but the question is what do the theorists really have to say in plain everyday language? How are we using these theories and how can we better implement them in to the everyday? Is there more modern theory that comes alongside these to complement and enhance and can they work side by side in today's Early Childhood Environment? In this dynamic keynote we will explore the use of theory in the every day classroom.
