USING WHAT WE KNOW: APPLYING PIAGET'S DEVELOPMENTAL THEORY IN PRIMARY CLASSROOMS ( DAVIDSON FILMS )

The work of Jean Piaget has contributed much of the theoretical justification for the current move to developmentally appropriate education. Piaget, however, was a theorist, not an educator. Using his mentors work, Dr. David Elkind proposes educational practices for todays primary classrooms. Filmed in three exemplary public school classrooms, the film deals with setting up a physical and organizational environment, making curriculum decisions and assessing child growth. The three classrooms are very different in the socio-economic status of the students, the personalities of the teachers and the resources available to them, but have a commonality in their pursuit of excellence. With David Elkind, Ph.D. This is a short clip from the film. Furthe rinformation is avaialble at www.davidsonfilms.com.
