Strategies to Extend Learning
September 15, 2014
The man who is too old to learn was probably always too old to learn.
-Henry S. Haskins

In Powerful Interactions, authors Amy Dombro, Judy Jablon, and Charlotte Stetson outline ten strategies for extending learning.  Here are two examples:

Solve Problems Together.  By collaborating with children, you can help them think through the steps of solving a problem, use multiple strategies, and develop a positive attitude toward problem solving.  Collaborative problem solving with children will contribute to a strong sense of community in your classroom, which will make your work feel more fulfilling.

Laugh with Children.  When you bring humor into your interactions with children, you extend their learning by exposing them to new ways of thinking and playing with language.  You also teach them life skills, such as how to get along with others, laugh together, and relieve stress.   Adding more laughter and humor makes your classroom a nicer place to be, which can really reduce the stress level that often comes with working with young children.
