Watch this video on ‘John Dewey’s 4 principles of education’ that was produced by Sprouts Schools. Once you have finished watching the film, think about:

• Your own schooling and whether these principles were embedded in your schools
• Your setting and whether these principles are embedded for the children you look after.

It is rare that there is just one way to respond to a scenario or situation, so do not consider that the responses you have to the above scenario will be judged as right or wrong. Share your scenario with a work colleague or friend and ask them to tell you whether they think you have responded appropriately. Ask them to challenge your response if necessary. You do not need to submit this task for assessment unless asked to do so by your assessor.
