Introduction:Dewey (1959) argued that the single most important purpose of schooling was to prepare children to become responsible citizens. He believed that children needed to learn social skills, empathy, perspective taking, and problem-solving to become competent adults.

Upon selecting your desired age group, your center director asks you to set-up your classroom and then present her with a map of the layout of your classroom demonstrating how you incorporated developmentally appropriate decisions in your arrangement. *Note: you will use this same age group with all of the following assignments for this course in preparation for the final project.
