Why do early child educators and parents need to understand the educational theories of philosophers from three hundred years ago? Viewers will learn theories that will give them a foundation to build their own philosophy of education. Learn the theories of John Locke, who believed children are different and education should be individualized ; understand what Jean-Jacques Rousseau meant by children learning through natural consequences; see how Johann Pestalozzi pioneered the use of learning through concrete objects; and apply the principles of Frederick Froebel, who began the kindergarten movement. Through live classroom video, expert interviews, and historical accounts, viewers will gain a deeper understanding of these early theorists and the role they played in the history of ecucation - and still play today .
