3) Children are natural communicators and should be encouraged to express themselves however they feel they can.

4) The classroom environment acts as the third teacher.

5) Teachers are partners, nurturers, and guides who help facilitate the exploration of children’s interests as they work on short and long-term projects.

6) Documentation is a critical component of communication.

7) Parents are partners in education.
