A Child’s Work The Importance of Fantasy Play by Vivian Gussin Paley
Requirements: PDF Reader, 681 kb
Overview: The buzz word in education today is accountability. But the federal mandate of “no child left behind” has come to mean curriculums driven by preparation for standardized tests and quantifiable learning results. Even for very young children, unstructured creative time in the classroom is waning as teachers and administrators are under growing pressures to measure school readiness through rote learning and increased homework. In her new book, Vivian Gussin Paley decries this rapid disappearance of creative time and makes the case for the critical role of fantasy play in the psychological, intellectual, and social development of young children.
