Listen "The Experience Before the Explanation"
Episode Synopsis
EP221: Understanding how to develop a hands-on learning experience before offering an explanation can change everything about your homeschool teaching!On this episode of the Art of Homeschooling podcast, Jean breaks down this powerful approach to teaching which is based on the work of Rudolf Steiner, the founder of Waldorf education. As home educators, when we allow children to experience concepts firsthand before explaining theories or principles, we preserve their natural wonder and curiosity rather than shutting them down with premature explanations. This makes learning much less abstract. And honors how children learn naturally.In this episode, you'll hear examples from math, language arts, science, and history. Plus loads of inspiration that will make a real difference in your homeschooling journey.Find the Show Notes here https://artofhomeschooling.com/episode221/Join the Inspired at Home CommunityCome to the Taproot Teacher TrainingSend Jean a text message.
