Using Teacher Research to meet up with Children’s Lively Minds, Active Bodies and Tender Hearts with Deb Curtis and Margie Carter's workshop Nov. 2 & 3rd 2018
Children come to our programs with avid curiosity, determination, bigheartedness and delight in engaging with people and the world around them. Pause and marvel as we explore current brain research related to the amazing learning capacities of young children. Consider Reflective Teaching practices that will bring joy and deeper understanding to your work and life and allow you to engage with children in a more meaningful teaching and learning process.
