Description
It long has been said that play is the work of the child; yet programs for the young gifted child often feel conflict around the amount of time dedicated to play vs. providing structured learning experiences to students. What is the role of play in programming for the young gifted child? Play remains the clearest glimpse into the rich inner workings of the young child’s mind. This session focuses on the careful examination of play and how to use play as the catalyst for curriculum and instruction. Classroom applications and experiences of teachers using play are shared.
