Reflection Entry 3

I had never heard of Project Construct prior to last year when my coworkers were going to a conference for it and were presenting. It definitely sparked my interest and I wanted to know more about it. The goal of Project Construct is to"help teachers foster the development of each child as an autonomous individual. Autonomy refers to the ability of individuals to be self-governing--socially, morally, and intellectually--in the context of relationships with others" (Project Construct Early Childhood Framework). I think that it is a great idea because by doing this truly helps children function in the real world when they get older. They need to be able to think themselves and decide between right and wrong, and what is true and not true. By learning this in school, the child will better be able to do it as an adult if they were doing it all along.
