What are the tenets of best practice in an intentional classroom? Intentional teaching is acting with a goal in mind for children’s development and having a plan to accomplish it (Epstein, 2014). The intentional teacher has clearly defined objectives and instructional strategies for the children to achieve the goals (Epstein, 2014). Best practices in…

curriculum should reflect the way children think and process information. Piaget’s theory that cognitive development occurs in four stages; sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational and formal operational are also essential to the Reggio Emilia Approach, where the learning process happens over time, developing and growing with each stage of development.
