Upcoming events.
Make New Friends (and Keep the Old)
Online Course Hosted by Kathy Collins
Please join us as we investigate the idea and practice of friendship through an inquiry lens. We’ll look at fresh research on friendship, explore literature, excavate our own stories, interact with materials, and crowd-source ways to help children build meaningful relationships and durable friendships.
Story with Mara Krechevsky
Online Meet Up
We’ll be in conversation with our brilliant and delightful friend, Mara Krechevsky of Harvard’s Project Zero as we shift our focus towards the uses of story as documentation that propels our professional work in the direction we want to see it go.
Holding the Arts at the Heart: Flourishing in Living and Learning
Online Program with guest artists: Miriam Beloglovsky, Sophie Edwards, Georgia Heard, and Jesus Oviedo
"We know how art, in its countless forms, heals our bodies and minds." Susan Magsamen, Your Brain on Art
The field of Neuro-arts (Neuro-aesthetics) is developing evidence that strongly supports the decision of early educators and caregivers to include the arts in myriad forms as a deeply valued source of relationship building, meaning making, expression, inquiry, and well-being. The research applies to adults as much as to children! We’ll explore the role of the arts while we play, read, and share.
Story at Little Owl School
Online Meet Up
We have loved getting to know the work of Little Owl School over the years through its past relationship with Opal School and through Darryl Redick and Michelle Ramirez's participation in The Studio. We're looking forward to this conversation focusing on how a commitment to sharing stories has deepened learning in this vital community.
