"Putting children at the center of their learning."

Happy Summer!
Our June/July newsletter for Constructivist Teaching by Heart is focused on summer break, reflection, and why being a constructivist teacher is challenging and invigorating. We address summer slide, and an upgrade to that ubiquitous “back-to-school” classroom question: How was your summer vacation? We hope yours is all that you want it to be! See you again in August!
