Sue McCord, educator and former director of the University of Colorado’s Child Learning Center, leads us through her magical approach to organizing children’s learning around in-depth explorations of stories and all their possibilities in two half-hour videos. By anchoring a curriculum in a single story over an extended period, teachers can offer children opportunities to experiment, grow, and overcome challenges in new and exciting ways.
