Authentic is defined as true, real, unforged, verified, and trustworthy. Focusing on experiential learning, organizing units of study around themes, and personalized learning with individual curiosities and goals. I think educators tend start at like this in preschool. In preschool it is all about the children discovering and honoring a child’s history and a child’s potential but that tends to fade as they get older. Why? I think standard education is an easy way to teacher, just follow the guidelines. As a teacher I would like to give an authentic education that allows the children to learn everything they need to but through different ways that embrace all types of learners.
