exploring the situation with teachers

The beginning of an innovation process is an important indicator of its future success. Why do schools want to innovate and opt for Developmental Education? How do we assist teachers in the process of implementation of a play-based curriculum in the lower grades of primary school? How do we engage them in this process? This chapter is based on many years of experience in working with schools that aim to improve their classroom practices. Most schools become engaged in this transformation process in their attempt to answer the needs of a radically changing society. Developmental Education is an approach to teaching that can support teachers and teams in the process of appropriating new ways of teaching for meaningful learning. The chapter clarifies some of the basic conditions that have to be realised with teachers in the early stages of the implementation process.
