All I really need to know I learned in kindergarten.
Robert Fulghum
My name is Dr. Keela Uzzell, and I am an early childhood educator passionate about using developmentally appropriate practices in kindergarten classrooms.
My research centers on incorporating play within highly structured (academic) kindergarten spaces primarily in Title I schools. I’m also interested in how teachers perceive the use of playful practices as learning tools, its benefits, and the successful merge of academics, play, and developmentally appropriate practices into kindergarten curriculums.
