William Penn Charter SchoolReggio Emilia Educator
Sep. 2011 - Aug. 2021Philadelphia, PAAs a Reggio Emilia teacher, my approach promotes the image of the child as capable,
creative, and powerful, with the desire to connect with others, engage in learning,
and explore materials in the environment. I observe children’s intentions, interests,
and development and use pedagogical documentation to guide their teaching. My
classroom is an amicable place that fosters deep relationships between children,
teachers, family members, and community. The environment and materials are
valued as the third teacher as children learn through engagement with materials
intentionally set up by the teachers in the classroom.
As a community member, I volunteered on several committees, including Admissions,
Quakerism, Strategic Planning, and Athletic Honor Society.
