Nurturing Brilliance

Nurture children's innate brilliance through play. Acclaimed educator Sally Haughey has distilled decades of research and experience to create the Play-Activated Learning model for understanding children's play and learning. The Play-Activated Learning model gives educators and families an understanding of a child's behavior in the classroom during free play, including the growth unfolding in the brain. It also offers a view of the role of the educator in supporting the child's learning and development. The model explains the incredible unfolding and blossoming that happens during play and provides a science-based approach to communicating that growth and development to parents. The Play-Activated Learning model will illuminate the expert you already are and provide you with tools to explain why you teach the way you do, so that all well-intended parties can support the ultimate goal-children's growth and learning.
