"Children are capable, competent, curious and creative. They are natural researchers as they question what they see, hypothesize solutions, predict outcomes, experiment and reflect on their discoveries. Children are not passive, empty vessels waiting to be filled; rather, they are self-motivated learners actively seeking to understand the complex world in which they live. They are intrinsically motivated to learn and can be trusted as partners in curriculum development. Learning is therefore an ongoing, flexible, open-ended process wherein children consruct their own understanding. Teaching is not yelling; teaching is guided discovery."
