Description: "What is your teaching philosophy? How does it show up in your classroom management decisions? How does it shape your teaching and learning activities? In this book, teachers who have been part of the Child Development Project (CDP) invite us into their classrooms for a first-hand look at a very special teaching philosophy in action. Find out through classroom vignettes and collegial conversations how these teachers create learning communities where there are "no outcasts" and all children can take advantage of the learning motivation they are born with."
