Such an honor to tour Chickasaw Elementary School this past summer with Dr. Benjamin Mardell (Pedagogy of Play project, Project Zero, Harvard Graduate School of Education). These students and teachers were (and still are!) engaging in playful learning with the First Class Pre-K program and the Alabama Reading Initiative! Read Dr. Mardell's impressions here:

This was a great day!!! Thank you Chickasaw Elementary!

CES had a phenomenal visit today with Dr. Mardell (Harvard University), Dr. Scarpate (researcher), and four members of the Alabama Department of Education in Mrs. Little’s, Mrs. Odom’s and Ms. Floyd’s summer classes!
These researchers were able to see early literacy, real-world vocabulary, and problem solving in action.

Don't tell parents what they need...ask them. Take their lead. They know the context they are in and what they want to do with their children. Researchers and practitioners should help parents receive resources, information and services they need to be the best parents they want to be. �*Due to technical difficulties I haven't been able to post as much as I intended. I will do a summary after the conference.
