Learning in Silos
July 27, 2009
Empathy has no script. There is no right way or wrong way to do it. It’s simply listening, holding space, withholding judgment, emotionally connecting, and communicating that incredibly healing message of ‘You’re not alone.’

"A day in the early childhood classroom can be hectic. There is so much that we could choose to do, so many skills and concepts on which to work. How can a teacher do it all? Over the past few years I have heard many preschool teachers' concerns that teaching and learning have become too fragmented by subject curriculum areas and devoid of meaningful context. There are hardly enough hours in the day to teach everything we are asked to teach. This is especially true when the instruction for one time period addresses only one content domain.
"If done well, however, increasing the integration of learning within multiple content domains and various instructional contexts can help us better manage our time and make our instruction more powerful — and learning more meaningful — for children."'

It is disconcerting to know teachers are dealing with fragmented curriculum in early learning settings. It is the very nature of high-quality early childhood programs that language, literacy, math, science and social studies are woven through-out the day. If we are to have improvement in our educational system, we need to take that integrated model and push it up into primary school rather than let the fragmentation filter down.
