I love the list of what an intentional teacher is. I have used books that Bredekamp edited and I love her project based learning. Thank you for posting these qualities.
ReplyDeleteIntentional teachers are priceless! I strive each day in my work to create this environment, the list actually looks daunting written down like that. I truly believe that the quality of a program is directly affected by whether or not teachers are intentional. We need a goal and a purpose to be intentional. Intentional teaching is planned for, and not an accident.
ReplyDeleteYes, intentional teaching is dedication, not just to the child(pupil), but to both the child and the course.
