By creating and implementing lesson plans, high school students deepened their understanding of early childhood education principles. They learned how to develop age-appropriate activities, manage classroom dynamics, and address the diverse needs of young learners. This hands-on approach reinforced their theoretical knowledge, making it more relevant and applicable. The students developed the HLP skill of collaboration. Working together to design and deliver lessons required them to communicate effectively, share responsibilities, and support each other in achieving common goals. This experience fostered teamwork, problem-solving, and the ability to work in a group setting.
