Constructivist Teaching by Heart - Read our Newsletter

Welcome back to school!

It’s Not Easy Being Constructivist is the topic of this month’s Constructivist Teaching by Heart newsletter. We also discuss teaching kids how to participate in classroom conversations along with sharing a few newer and classic books for reading aloud that support each child in valuing themselves.

We are excited about the 25-26 new school year with all of its opportunities to meet our students where they are!
