“contemporary research confirms the view that young children learn most effectively when they are engaged in interaction rather than in merely receptive or passive activities."
-Lilian G. Katz

I could not agree more with this quote as educators the largest impacts we make on children are when we do not realize learning is taking place. Interaction and conversation are the core to true learning. While conversation and interaction trust then is built and in turn positive relationships.

The Richard W. Riley College of Education and Leadership fosters a dynamic and diverse network of educational leaders who seek to support learners globally by leveraging the power of teaching and technology and who are committed to the pursuit of positive social change through education.

This quote brings my ideas of what educators as a whole should strive for. We should strive for social change and remember this as we interact with the children and families in our care each day.
