Children grow and thrive when provided opportunities to initiate activities and follow their interests, but they also need active teachers to guide their learning through intentional and meaningful classroom experiences. Teaching with intentionality applies best practices while offering a balance of child-guided and adult-guided experiences.

Watch Frog Street in this important edWebinar as we offer guidance and best practices focused on the importance of intentionality in the pre-K classroom. This recorded presentation will be of interest to pre-K teachers, librarians, and school and district leaders.
