Embarking on a Reggio-inspired practice is an exciting journey.
Expert guidance helps programs work through this nuanced journey of cultural translation.
I work with education programs both public and private to identify, translate, and adapt Reggio Emilia influenced practices.
I help programs invest their time in authentic, high-impact pedagogical change that is relevant to their context.
I work to build bridges between and among my professional interests and experiences, bringing together higher education, professional learning communities, transdisciplinary play, documentation, and the exploration of the languages of materials, making, and expression.
I connect a spiderweb of communities for collaboration, curiosity, and joy in teaching and learning.
I support programs to:
Reflect on and examine the image of the child and how this impacts educator values and practices.
Practice pedagogical documentation as an approach to designing curiosity-driven curricular experiences.
Co-construct meaning and knowledge as a community of citizens.
Use loose parts and the concept of the languages of materials to create environments and design classroom experiences.
