Teachers express general goals and make hypothesis about what direction activities and investigations might take. Then, after observing children in action, they compare, discuss and interpret their observations and make choices that they share with the children about what to offer and how to sustain the children in their exploration and learning. The curriculum develops in the process of each activity or investigation and is flexibly adjusted accordingly through the conscious dialogue among teachers and children. All plans are aligned to the Birth Through Kindergarten Entry Learning and Development Standards and Ohio's Learning Standards.
