  • Intentional teaching includes both adult-directed and child-directed activities.
  • Early childhood teachers who use intentional teaching strategies create the environment for learning and facilitate the children’s learning through exploring the environment.
  • The intentional teacher knows when to expand learning activities and when to let the children play and discover on their own.
  • The intentional teacher takes the time to guide young children through planned learning experiences.
  • Intentional teachers guide the content of the curriculum activities to achieve teacher planned goals.

​Problem solve to extend learning

Observe and document children’s learning
