Constructivist teaching provides a rich, problem-solving arena that encourages the learner's investigation, invention and inference. The constructivist teacher values learner reflection, cognitive conflict and peer interaction. The Association for Constructivist Teaching is a professional educational organization dedicated to fostering teacher development based on these same principles.


Our Mission ....
Is to enhance the growth of all educators and students through identification and dissemination of effective constructivist practices in both the professional cultures of teachers and the learning environments of children.
