The Challenge of the 21st Century: Nurturing Young Children to be Creative Communicators, Collaborators, and Critical Thinkers.
The young children in your classroom today will be living in a very different world in their future. It will be filled with advanced technology, innovative jobs, and expanded responsibilities that we have never heard of today.  How can we help and prepare children for these new challenges, expanded opportunities, and innovative ways of solving problems? Explore how to enhance your environment, inspire children’s unique ideas, and value their amazing creations. Both you and your children will benefit from the enriched possibilities that will occur when you integrate the 4C’s into your fabulous classroom.
