Theories of Childhood, Second Edition (Carol Garhart Mooney) / quote 6 of 70
Teachers need both joy and theory
We need teachers who have both a true enjoyment of children and a true understanding of how they grow and learn. It seems that we have not been successful at presenting child development as a usable tool for working with young children more effectively. Perhaps we need to take a different approach to introducing theory and its practice to the beginning student or teacher.
