I strive to create a learning community where all individual learning styles, interests, aspirations, histories, hope, and unique qualities are respected and encouraged to flourish. I want to foster and nurture the love of learning in all of my students. There are few structures that facilitate this goal and provide the necessary space like a workshop structure. After 17 years of training, teaching, and coaching in the workshop model I consider myself an expert. I am also currently using the workshop model within a PYP classroom framework.
