They can lead individually designed professional development sessions on the topics of:

  • designing classroom environments 

  • observation and documentation 

  • forming school identity and building community

  • establishing a reflective practice

  • creative materials as learning tools 

  • how our image of the child influences practice

  • outdoor education

  • and more!
