As a group of educators, this school year we have focused on several components of philosophical application and curriculum. One of the topics that continues to emerge for us is the topic of our image of the child and children's rights. We collectively agree that children are competent and capable learners who have the right to play an active role in their education being both the source and constructor of their own knowledge. The links below are two articles that have played a major role in our discussions. Please take a look when you have a moment and feel free to comment we would love to gain your insight as well!
