Philosophy
My approach to teaching and learning is rooted in constructivism (Jean Piaget, Lev Vygotsky, et al.), responsive care (Emmi Pikler, Magda Gerber, et al.), The Project Approach (Lilian Katz, Sylvia Chard, et al.), and philosophy from Reggio Emilia, Italy (Loris Malaguzzi, Carla Rinaldi, et al.), along with inspiration from other people and places around the world. Here are a few articles that inform my life at school:
Looking at School from the Bottom Up
Images, Stories, and Being in The Forest (“Your Image of the Child: Where Teaching Begins”)
