ISBN: 978-1-60554-835-7

Acclaimed educator Sally Haughey distills decades of research and experience to advance our understanding of children’s play and learning so we can best nurture their innate brilliance. Sally’s illuminating Play-Activated Learning model gives educators and families an understanding of a child’s behavior in the classroom during free play, including the growth unfolding in the brain. It also offers a view of your role as the educator in supporting the child’s learning and development. Explaining the incredible unfolding and blossoming that happens during play, Nurturing Brilliance provides a science-based approach to communicating that growth and development to parents, while highlighting the expert you already are and providing you a way to bridge gaps in understanding so that all well-intended parties can support the ultimate goal—children’s growth and learning.
