What is essential when partnering with an organization or individual?
Fostering a collaborative approach with organization or individuals who share a common vision; one that aims to enhance the realm of early childhood education, embraces various teaching and learning approaches, is dedicated to refining their teaching methods, promotes the growth and development of children, seeks to establish robust partnerships, and whose fundamental values and principles demonstrate their dedication to children, families, programs, and the community.
How do you support enhancing teachers' knowledge?
Most of my current work is focused on initiatives that aim to build the knowledge and skills of teachers in the field of early childhood education. This includes designing and delivering professional development programs, workshops, and training sessions that support educators in enhancing their teaching practices, deepening their understanding of child development, and improving their ability to create nurturing, engaging, and effective learning environments. The goal is to equip teachers with the tools, strategies, and evidence-based practices they need to promote positive outcomes for young children, while also fostering a collaborative community of educators committed to ongoing growth and reflection in their work.
What do you believe is true about children's learning?
Children are curious and imaginative learners who need a secure, engaging environment that nurtures their inherent curiosity. They can achieve their maximum potential when supportive adults actively interact with them and offer the resources necessary for their success.
