Goals
1.
The social curriculum is as important as the academic curriculum.
2. How children learn is as important as what
they learn: process and content go hand in hand.
3. The greatest cognitive growth occurs through
social interaction.
4. There is a set of social skills children
need in order to be successful academically and socially: cooperation,
assertion, responsibility, empathy, and self-control.
5.Knowing the children we teach–individually,
culturally, and developmentally–is as important as knowing
the content we teach.
6. Knowing the families of the children we
teach and working with them as partners is essential to children's
education.
7. How the adults at school work together is
as important as individual competence: Lasting change begins
with the adult community.
