Learning Happens Everywhere

As chair of the Stern College for Women, Yeshiva University Educator Preparation Program, I found this past week’s comic strip @JEWISHCARTOON by Jordan B. Gorfinkel especially curious. Play is a repository of rich learning experiences: Cooking supports generating and testing hypotheses and chronological reasoning; singing lays the foundation for language acquisition and linguistic fluency; and art making affords young learners the opportunity to identify properties and attributes of materials and tools. In this era of COVID-19 schooling, which has significantly disrupted taken-for-granted educational norms, I think we all have deeper recognition and respect for teachers and their craft.
