Some of the Values that Shape My Work

The values that shape my work are commitment, dedication, advocacy and deep passion in and strong belief of progressive education as an educational model for ensuring a high quality education for all children. I believe strongly that all children have the right to be educated, in order for them to achieve their full potential. Progressive education allows educators to access the complex way that learning occurs in children.

I have worked as a early childhood teacher; a director/founder of an early childhood nursery; director of a day care program for homeless children; the city-wide coordinator for Early Intervention for the City of NY; and taught a diverse group of parents about a variety of educational and parenting issues.
