Children should have opportunities to:
Create….rather than duplicate.
Initiate….rather than imitate.
Make the lines….rather than color in the lines.
。Create art…..rather than do crafts.
。Make books…..rather than fill in workbooks.
Emphasize the process…..rather than the product.
Use authentic skills…..rather than drill and practice.
Raise questions….rather than answer the teacher’s questions.
Solve their own problems….rather than the teacher’s problems.
Speak….rather than listen passively.
Choose wisely….rather than being told.
“Make a plan…..rather than follow the teacher’s plan.
。Try again…..rather than fail.
