In this episode we discuss the concern many parents have of how to assess where children are on their learning journeys. We’ll be answering the following questions:

  1. How can we tell if children have learned without assessments?
  2. Don’t we have to push children to get out of their comfort zones?
  3. How will they learn to “buckle down” and not just always play?
