What kind of idea of children do you have? What is your image of a child?
The fundamental place to begin, and forever return to whenever any decision is made regarding education, is to ask ourselves ‘what is our image of a child?’ There are always many stake-holders when it comes to make decisions regarding educating children - parents, teachers, administrators, school staff, cafeteria employees. We need a collective image of the child and stay true to it in all our steps forward. If the image of child is a consistent one the program is stronger.
I don't think the image of a child needs descriptors, but here are some of mine...
Complex.
Playful.
Imaginative.
Stubborn.
Seeking relationships and belonging.
Communicative.
Pure.
Loving.
