The authors of a well known FDK Blog have come together to create a TPT space where educators can gather research based information, resources and various tips and tricks on how to plan and implement a successful program. Based on the Ministry of Ontario's vision for the program, The Sandbox Approach offers a starting place for new teams, and a space for experienced educators to gather ideas that will support their own program. The Sandbox Approach has been created and designed through action research, Ministry initiatives, professional collaboration and dedication.
