Welcome to Children Think: A Podcast by bloom! This is a podcast about children for teachers. Hosted by bloom! Synergists. bloom! is an organization that helps teachers imbed child development into classrooms. Join us as we host conversations that will spark curiosity about the children in your classrooms. How do they think? What do they think? How does your thinking impact their thinking? What do children really need from schools and is it different from what teachers want from children? Our goal is to leave you with knowledge that will ultimately help create a learning community and meet children just where they are. We believe, when adults step back, children step up.

Listen as we introduce Lesa Vartanian, she is a bloom! Synergist. We will get to hear her story, her work and how she became part of the bloom team.

Thank you for joining us today on our 2nd episode of children think. Often it is wondered…How is order established in a classroom? Is it the use of control? Or is there another way?

In this episode we are going to talk about our innate desire for order and the reasoning behind that desire. Then later in the episode we will hear from teachers about their experience with order, how they applied it to their classrooms, and the paradigm shift they experienced that transformed their classrooms to meeting children just where they are.
