Videatives make general principles of child development and early education come to life. Students will learn to "see what children know", not by testing, but by careful observation. Teachers will have higher-level conversations with children. Children will learn how to reflect on their actions and receive better support for their thinking.

Come to India in November

Videatives has partnered with EduRetreat in Singapore to offer 25 educators a 12 day journey through Northwestern India beginning in Delhi on November 29, 2008.   George Forman will serve as your reflective guide as we visit alternative education sites, meet with educational scholars, and revisit our experiences together at the end of each day.   Various cultural excursions are planned, e.g. a visit to Agra and the Taj Mahal.   One month prior to the trip, Videatives will offer an online forum for orientation, profile sharing, reading resources, and general dialogue among the 25 registrants.   We have worked hard to keep the cost to an affordable $3,800 that includes travel within India, lodging, breakfast and most dinners and lunches, and the administrative costs to EduRetreat and our Indian hosts.   Current airfare to Delhi is running around $1,200.   Participants will be accepted on a first come, first serve basis.   Please go to www.EduRetreat.org to learn more about this incredible journey and to download registration forms.   There you will find pages on the itinerary, FAQs, and instructions on how to confirm your acceptance.   Also please send any unanswered questions to me at GEForman@aol.com.
