For the past year, I blogged the similarities between the
Charlotte Mason and
Relationship Development Intervention. I have covered in great detail the parallels between Charlotte Mason and one of the books on the
RDI hot list (
Awakening Children's Minds
). The
Winter 2007 issue of The Review published by
ChildLightUSA, an organization dedicated to the Charlotte Mason philosophy of education, confirms exactly what I have been thinking for a long time. If you read any article from the
free, online magazine, check out "Is Sequencing and Ordering the Curriculum Important for Scaffolding Learning?" by Carroll Smith. His insightful article covers the following topics:
- The Sequenced General Curriculum
- The Scaffolded Curriculum
- Prior Knowledge
- Vygotsky: Thought and Language
- Vygotsky: Social Interaction
- Vygotsky: Zone of Proximal Development and Scaffolding
- Inside a Mason Context
- Daily Scaffolded Learning through Narration
- Six Steps of the Narration Sequence
- Store of Common Information
Does it sound familiar?!?!?!?
