The Fifteen Minute Classroom coachingnextsteps

Dispositions refer to temperamental or character traits that are natural. They are an inclination or a tendency toward a certain way to behave, learn, and express oneself. Dispositions are what children believe, their interests, what they experience in their daily lives and what is familiar to them. They provide important information about the way children learn. Join us across the online table today and gain the insight needed to nourish your children's dispositions.

So what are children learning when they're playing with blocks and puzzles or focused on a tech game? How does the opportunity to choose an activity impact the ability or interest to learn?  How does the physical, social, and emotional environment impact children's ability to learn even as they play? These and other questions are discussed along with some practical tips to consider on today's episode.

Play is important! In fact, many parents, caregivers, and educators of elementary school-age children realize it is the key to learning. 
Join us across this online table as Dale Shipley returns to the classroom.  We'll provide a few 15 minutes tips that you can initiate with your children to ensure their play is filled with a variety of toys, and materials. You might even be surprised to learn that while they are having fun they're developing.
