| Introduction | Speaker, Trainer, Coach, Consultant, Educational Director, Teacher. I received my Bachelors degree from Boston University in Early Childhood Education under the tutelage of renowned expert Judith Schikedanz. While teaching Kindergarten in Greenwich, CT I received my Masters in Curriculum and Teaching from Columbia Teachers College and had the opportunity to train several summers with Lucy Calkins and the Writing Project. Upon leaving public school teaching, I focused on providing training to early childhood centers. In 2000 I discovered an amazing preschool for my children, CCNS. I am currently the Educational Director and Fours Teacher. In 2008 I learned about The Project Approach as an incredible method of delivering curriculum. I have trained with Lillian Katz, Sylvia Chard and Judy Harris Helm and am now a Nationally Certified Young Investigators Trainer and Coach. One of my projects is featured in Judy Harris Helm's book, Becoming Young Thinkers: Deep Project Work in the Classroom. I love what I do, I enjoy sharing it with others and I hope to hear and learn from the many amazing educators that are out there. |
