Week 2 Research that Benefits Children and Families

If I had no restrictions and no limitations on a research topic where children and families benefited I would chose researching and creating simulation where play, child centered learning, and exploring learning were done from early childhood programs up through high school.

Play changes as children develop. Children will be the center of the learning. Standards would exist but revised for each individual student through lessons. I would observe children's performances in school, stress levels, and success in assessments made by teachers based on their level of learning.

I want to look more into how curriculum, standards and assessment are benefiting children throughout the past 10 years. SInce i have been in school and in college and in the teaching profession, there have been so many changes. Most of these changes have been strict about what children need to learn. Modules have been placed in the NYS education system.http://www.engageny.org/common-core-curriculum
