Creative-C Learning: The Innovative Kindergarten - Paperback

by Peter Fritz Walter (Author)

'Creative-C Learning: The Innovative Kindergarten'-2017 Revised, Updated and Reformatted Edition-presents a pre-school curriculum for a sane, holistic, brainsmart and systemliterate education of small children. The author's educational approach is tailored to how our brain works and develops from ages 2 to 6. It's a functional approach, not an idealistic one, based on the actual constitution of the human being, with all the complexity inherent in it. The author contends that children are born sane and are rendered more or less insane by an educational system that till now considers the human being as the impossible human, that is, a creature that is basically faulty and has to be improved and upgraded by education, and morality. The present view opposes this age-old educational paradigm and shows that traditional education brings about fragmentation, ignorance and widespread violence. The present curriculum emphasizes the natural integrity and wholeness of the small child, who is by nature a systems thinker. The curriculum builds upon this fact and presents a way to raise pre-schoolers in a learning environment that fosters systemic thinking capabilities, so that children become systemliterate at a young age. The author also emphasizes the need for teaching emotional awareness to teachers and presents techniques to be applied in the vocational training for early child care workers and pre-school teachers that teach how to cope with stress, and that show the details of the trustbuilding process both between teachers and students and between parents and teachers. The audience for this guide are all those involved in educating children, as well as educational policy makers, also parents, educational associations, politicians, pediatricians and child psychologists, and also the lay public, especially those who are looking for a new way to educate children now and in the future.
