Description: Human bengs thrive on choice. Choice stimulates, choice engages. We all have a need for autonomy and children are no different. But giving children real choice can be a headache for the dedicated teacher. This workshop aims to show how to maximize learning through maximizing choice, and since expereince is the highest form of learning, that means starting as we mean to go on!
