On August 4th, I had the pleasure of discussing Choice, Play and Inquiry with Lindsay Persohn for her wonderful podcast Classroom Caffeine. We talked about my journey as a teacher and the people who informed my thinking. Our discussion moved to the importance of engagement and a description of an engaged class. This led us to the incredible trip to the schools of Reggio Emilia, Italy that Matt Glover, Kathy Collins and I organized for 68 educators, where we focused on what it looks like when there is an expanded view of literacy.
It was a totally enjoyable conversation. It will be broadcast on the Lindsay’s podcast, Classroom Caffeine, on November 9th. I’m pleased to share it with you on my blog now. I hope you enjoy it!
