I believe the process is the product. A couple of years ago, I began to study brain development in young children. I thought that if I could encourage teachers to learn about brain development in young children, it would provide them with a greater understanding of how children develop and learn. Coming from a Head Start perspective you are suppose to plan lessons that a process exists. For example, you can't use ditto sheets to teach about letters or numbers. Baking a cake for the first, we must go through the process before we really learn how to bake a cake. I believe process is very important to learning.
