Profile Information
- What inspires you about the Reggio Emilia Approach?
- The value placed on process not product. How children are viewed as competant and capable. The community involvement with the school. The recognition of the environment being a teacher.
- About Me:
- I have been a Master Teacher at The Ohio University Child Development Center for the past 7 years. We are a Reggio inspired school that teaches to teacher candidates from the University and the children of families in Athens, Ohio area. I am also a registered music together instructor and director. I teach music to 35 families and their children ages birth through five. I have been a musician all my life and the Music Together Curriculum is the way in which I can do two of the things I love the most: being musical and working with children. I have my degree in Secondary Education: Social Studies. Because of this, NAEYC Accredidation recognizes me as an "assistant" teacher at our school. I am currently enrolled at Ohio University to earn my Associates in Child Development . I have learned about The Reggio Emilia Approach through the Reggio study group and reading about their schools. Through my job I was able to see the Hundred Languages exhibit at COSI in Columbus, Ohio. Most importantly, I have learned about the approach by observing my colleagues at work. I think that my connection with the Reggio Emilia Approach is very "Reggio" in that I am not a book learned Master Teacher in Early Childhood. I am in love with my job and families that I work with everyday. I reflect constantly on how I can become a better teacher and consider the individuality of all my students and families.

I'm happy to know we have a musician in our community. I am currently looking for a short bit of instrumental music to accompany the flight of a rocket ship in our Circus Train ballet. Any suggestions?
