Real learning is not copying. That’s the wrong word. Copying is taking somebody else’s solutions. Learning is taking somebody else’s problems.
-Twyla Tharp, Choreographer
Pam Schiller, one of the experts appearing on the VOICES DVD: Caring for Infants and Young Toddlers, offered these suggestions to infant and toddler teachers for "finding strategies that will lead to a more purposeful learning experience for children" in her Exchange article, "More Purposeful and Intentional Infant and Toddler Care":
  • Think of desired outcomes as you plan and move through daily routines.  This will automatically lead you in a more purposeful and intentional direction.

  • Strengthen your knowledge of the research that supports early development.  You will become more effective in selecting outcomes that are beneficial.

  • Remember that teaching is as much about following as it is about leading.  Teachers who are keen observers of children learn as much from the children as the children learn from them.  All are striving to become intentional.

These are not your typical training DVDs. No scripts. No staged events. Interlaced with real-life classroom video, these powerful DVDs offer you practical ideas and experienced insights from seasoned professionals who speak with the passion and perspective that can only come from years of working with directors, teachers, young children, and their families. Each DVD provides a rich platform for staff development and training sessions that will inspire, motivate, teach, provoke new thinking, and generate lively discussions.
