===In this article by J. Amos Hatch, methods for teaching in early education are discussed, along with ideas about development, and the learning process. Hatch argues that instead of sticking to a single method that works, to use many different methods to ensure that all of the students can learn in their own way. (Hatch, 2010) He also believes that “young children are ill-served when teacher-directed lessons are foisted on them before they are developmentally ready, and best practice is to provide environments that give children opportunities to explore and discover on their own.” (Hatch, 2010) Putting children in situations where they can learn, rather than standing in front of them and teaching them with words benefit’s the child better, according to Hatch. (2010) “Learning happens in the exchanges between adults (or more competent others) and children around tasks about which the adult is an expert and the child is an apprentice.” (Hatch 2010) Hatch also agrees with Piaget’s theory that complex, more mathematical things ought to be taught in the traditional way. (2010) The common idea of this journal, is that all subjects should not be treated the same way, different subjects should be taught in different styles and with different tactics. (Hatch, 2010) ===
