It arrived today in the mail!!!!

I am deeply honoured to share that I have had the opportunity to collaborate as a contributor in the book, Learning with the Pedagogy of Reggio Emilia: Innovative Approaches to Early Childhood and Teacher Education.

I am especially grateful that Chapter 7 - our chapter reflects a collaboration with my peers and fellow educators, Sarah and Elizabeth from our online MA program that we graduated from in 2022. This program is a meaningful partnership between the University of Colorado and Boulder Journey School.

This work represents the power of collective thinking, dialogue, and shared commitment to reimagining education together.

I also want to express my deep appreciation to Lori Ryan, who edited this book and invited me into this work. Over nearly two years of connecting through Zoom, her guidance, vision, and commitment to this project helped bring this collaboration to life.

I am deeply humbled that Carla Rinaldi wrote the foreword—one of her final texts before her passing. A tireless advocate for children, her voice continues to guide and inspire educators around the world.

To engage in this work alongside educators and thinkers who are committed to seeing children as capable, curious, and full of potential is both humbling and inspiring. The pedagogy of Reggio Emilia continues to remind us that learning is relational, rooted in community, and shaped through listening, truly listening to children.

Thank you to all who made space for this collaboration, and to the children, families, and educators who continue to inspire this work.

We have just returned from the World Forum on Early Care and Education in Kuala Lumpur and I’m still reflecting on what an inspiring and grounding experience it was.

I had the opportunity to present multiple times throughout the forum, including a session titled “What the Village Is Already Teaching.” Sharing this work and learning alongside educators and leaders from around the world, was both energizing and deeply meaningful.

A few ideas that continue to stay with me:

“ If you invest in children, you invest in peace”!

Nature as a right, not a privilege
There was a powerful and growing conversation around children’s connection to land and the role of nature in supporting well-being, identity, and learning. Access to outdoor and natural spaces is not an “extra”—it is essential.

Children’s rights in action!
Across contexts, there was a shared commitment to ensuring children are seen as capable citizens, with voices that matter. Moving beyond rhetoric to truly embedding children’s rights in our daily practice remains critical.

Global connections, shared responsibility!
While our contexts may differ, the responsibility we carry is collective. The decisions we make as educators and leaders have lasting impacts on children, families, and communities.

We return feeling both inspired and challenged to continue deepening this work, to advocate, and to listen more closely to the children in our care.

Grateful for the connections, conversations, and continued learning.
