To facilitate growth in each stage of Piaget's To facilitate growth in each stage of Piaget's cognitive development
theory, I would utilize the following techniques:

Sensorimotor: I would have brightly colored objects, toys, and shapes
for the children to play with. Since learning is based on physical
interactions, having these objects to directly interact with will aid in
their mental growth.

Pre-Operational: During this stage, I would utilize pictures, lots of
story books and provide for "me" time where each child in the class
could be the Super Star for a week (since they are very ego-centric).
During their Super Star week, each child could bring in his/her favorite
book on one day, favorite stuffed animal, favorite game, etc.

Concrete Operational: As a teacher in this stage, I would have a lot of
learning centers and encourage group work. Because the kids are
starting to come out of their ego stage, it will be good for them to
learn how to interact and work in groups appropriately. Learning
centers will encourage them to put past knowledge to use in a concrete
way.

Formal Operational: For the final stage, I would employ various
techniques to encourage the application of abstract ideas. I would
still encourage group projects (that were challenging but doable) and
also try and incorporate "real" world experiences, like field trips,
guest speakers, and the application of knowledge to common problems.
