| 1. Human development is continuous and unceasing; the benefits we provide to children under our instruction benefit us as instructors as well. 2.Play is an essential component of continuous human development. It is of benefit to adult educators to play, and to explore materials, outside of their role as instructors. 3. Providing open-ended materials and a structured time and space in which to explore those materials benefits human in all stages of development. 4. Universal Design for Learning can be used to create accessible curricula by creating and welcoming multiple ways of communicating concepts and multiple ways of demonstrating understanding. |
