This is a blog to document the possibilities and the power of learning centres in our learning habitat. Our goal is to create centres where children can learn by themselves in a variety of ways and at a variety of levels. Our first job is to develop the 'why'. Why child centred/child directed learning centres?
We want to create an environment that causes learning.
