Current Collaborations

Reimagining our Work (ROW) Initiative with Ann Pelo and Margie Carter

“What if the story were transformed with an understanding that pedagogical practice should be aimed at sustaining a culture of inquiry, where educators, listen, wonder, and reflect; where we are surprised, delighted, and moved?”

I am thankful to be part of group of pedagogical leaders who will be facilitating online conversations provoked by the study of From Teaching to Thinking and the ROW story collection. We will be leading small cohorts of participants, guide online conversations, and support movement to action beginning in the fall of 2020, guided by the incredible leaders who are Convenors of the ROW Initiative, which include Ann, Margie, and other thought leaders in North America.

A Collaborative Inquiry with:

Children’s Resources on Wheels EarlyOn Child and Family Centre and

Licensed Home Child Care

Studying the research question, “What does active participation look like?” over a year together using pedagogical tools of documentation, dialogue, reflections and challenges to our thinking that is creating a space for learning together and shifting our practice.
