In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights, in cups of coffee…how do you measure a year?” We began the fall season at Lamplighter just as the lyrics to the popular song brilliantly express…with lots of laughter, smiles, hard work, and deep respect for the school of which we are so fond. A special thank you to Carmen Yung, Brenna Lambert, Stefanie Nielson and members of their committees for organizing an event that will be remembered for many years to come; reunions and gatherings that include alums, parents, and grandparents connect us and help to shape childhood and arguably adulthood. Many will remember that in 2012, the school community participated in developing the five­­-year Strategic Plan. Surveys were taken and meetings were held as we worked together to plan for the future. The entire document (available on the website) set a very high bar for continuing to build and sustain the Lamplighter environment both academically and in the physical space or infrastructure. Our planning over the last few years has been targeted and intentional. In May, the Board of Trustees voted to move forward on a Campaign that will be centered on People, Place, and Program. In the area of people, our goal is to ensure that we continue to have the strongest faculty with access to the best professional development possible in order to bring new knowledge to our students. Our teachers are asked regularly to serve on reaccreditation It has been a great start to the school year. teams for other schools, to speak at conferences, We are indeed living out the mission of the and to participate in workshops.

And, finding a location for teaching Early Childhood Spanish is certainly an aspiration that we endorse. Over the next few months we will further crystalize the vision, but be assured that all of these efforts are focused on enhancing the Lamplighter experience for our students now and in the future. In the area of programs, we are committed to the partnerships we are building. The connections to the Perot Museum of Nature and Science, SMU, Commit! and The Dallas Arboretum deepen the student experience and provide authentic learning. It is exciting to observe how teaching and learning are being transformed and how new opportunities abound as a result of our work with these important cultural institutions. Lamplighter is a magical place. We offer a serious education wrapped in the wonder of childhood. Sincerely, Joan Buchanan Hill, Ed. D. Head of School OnBoard Q&A with the New Board Chair This interview with Catherine Rose, Lamplighter Board Chair and former parent, was conducted and condensed by LampPost. LP: What are you most excited about for Lamplighter in the 2014–15 school year? CR: Lamplighter is about the people—the special students, of course, but also the families, faculty, and leadership who care deeply about the school’s mission; and it’s also about the unique program. The energy around the Lamplighter experience is palpable around campus—the Carnival was a huge success and an indication of how people feel about the school. I’m excited about the enthusiasm and energy at school and all the work that the school is doing on the Strategic Plan. LP: Has the Board of Trustees set goals for the 2014–15 school year? deliberate progress on the Strategic Plan, as well as the Academic Plan. For instance, one goal of the plan is to broaden external and internal awareness about Lamplighter and its programs. Last year, Dr. Hill and her team initiated and completed a thorough branding process which resulted in a new logo, a refined identity about the school, and a really terrific new website which I hope all parents are using! Those successes are just a few ways we are evaluating progress against the goals of the plan. Another goal of the Strategic Plan ensures that Lamplighter’s facilities deliver on the plan’s programmatic goals–as well as the mission. Toward that goal, the Board of Trustees and Dr. Hill have been taking a hard look at aligning form and function on campus—all focused on enhancing our students’ experiences. This fall, the Board and Dr. Hill are refining the scope and precise needs of the campus, and we expect to share specific plans later this school year. CR: For the past several years, the Board of Trustees has set annual goals early in each school year. During our full board training session in late August, Governance Chair Sarah Weinberg led a goal-setting exercise in which all participated. This school year the Board will focus on four objectives: trustee LP: How often does the Board evaluate the engagement, financial sustainability, advocacy School’s progress on the Strategic Plan? and oversight in advancing the work of the CR: The Strategic Initiatives committee, School’s mission and Strategic Plan. chaired by Jane Hurst, is charged with reviewing the progress on the Strategic Plan LP: Lamplighter is midway through its on an annual basis. Each summer, Dr. Hill Strategic Plan—how is it going so far? and her team update the plan for progress and address the work for the following CR: Dr. Hill and her team of capable staff and accomplished faculty have been making school year. Each of the Strategic Plan’s goals and objectives are accompanied by measureable outcomes and responsibility is assigned to Dr. Hill or specific members of her leadership team. Some of the action items are completed in a single school year, and other objectives require much longer timelines to accomplish. It is a tremendous amount of work, but so valuable for the school in keeping all efforts focused on the vision of the plan. LP: Your children are Lamplighter graduates and now in middle and high school. Why did you want to serve as Board Chair–or why is the Lamplighter Board and School still important to you? CR: I wish I had attended Lamplighter! All of the boys—Will included—attended Lamplighter, and I’m just so jealous of their experiences. The school’s mission, “Dedicated to igniting the potential of each child, Lamplighter engages children in the joy of learning through intellectual discovery in a creative, inclusive, and collaborative environment,” speaks deeply to me about the importance of early childhood education and the need to kindle the wonder in each child. It is also a specific approach that fosters interest from within that I believe to be critical for future success in life. It is such a pleasure to watch our three Lamplighter grads—Alex, Charlie, and Jack—as they grow as students and lifelong learners.

LAMPPOST 7 Higher Learning Lamplighter partners with SMU to strengthen the School’s curriculum and best practices Lamplighter has been fostering a relationship with Southern Methodist University over the past three years. Working with the Dean of SMU’s Annette Caldwell Simmons School of Education and Human Development, Dr. David Chard, Lamplighter is committed to implementing the current best practices in the field of education. on learning which is emblematic of the Lamplighter experience. Secondly, our faculty has a chance for professional renewal through rich dialogue with others in our field. And lastly, the partnership with SMU has been especially important to ensure that Lamplighter is offering the very best instructional practices as we instill a love of learning.” “The future of innovation in schools rests with strong partnerships with universities, museums, and foundations, as this is where much of the new thinking is initiated,” explained Dr. Joan Hill, Lamplighter’s Head of School. She believes the partnerships the School continues to build strengthen the School’s curriculum and community in multiple ways. “Firstly, our students have opportunities for hands- Administration and faculty agree that the Lamplighter partnership with SMU has been a valuable experience for teachers and ultimately for students. “At Lamplighter, we are continuing to improve our curriculum, enhancing what is good and making it better, and exploring ways to be innovative in our approach to educating young children,” said Vicki Raney, the School’s Assistant Head for Academics. CoverStory Lamplighter Lower School students visit SMU campus with, (from L-R): Lamplighter Spanish teacher Jezabel Guadelupe, Lamplighter Assistant Head for Academics Vicki Raney, SMU professor Dr. Stephanie Al Otaiba, Dean of SMU School of Education Dr. David Chard, Lamplighter Head of School Dr. Joan Hill, and Lamplighter Third Grade teacher Becky Logsdon. CoverStory Strong literacy skill development is a focus of the Lamplighter curriculum. In a quest for continual and sustained improvement, reading and Spanish teachers have partnered with SMU faculty to revise lessons to better meet the needs of Lamplighter students. “Having rich collaborations with museums and universities are ways that our school measures how our academic program stands up to the latest research and best practices for teaching children,” Raney continued. In recent years, Lamplighter has completed a thorough examination of its literacy curriculum, specifically how the School teaches reading. “We participate in the best professional development opportunities available,” Dr. Hill reported. Fourth grade teacher Jody Stout believes Lamplighter’s stated commitment to engaging and igniting the spirit of life-long learners is a mission that extends to the whole of the community. “Partnering with SMU’s Simmons School of Education is one way Lamplighter teachers have access to progressive research and programming,” she explained. Raney added that Lamplighter literacy teachers are continually making certain that students attain reading and writing skills needed to move forward. “Dr. Diane Gifford and Dr. Stephanie Al Otaiba guide us through assessments that are useful,” she said. “They share the most recent and relevant research on curriculum and instruction, as well as new resources that support our work.” Raney explained that the SMU partnership “gives us access to experts like Dr. Al Otaiba, who helped us better understand the components of an excellent reading program and the significance of increased time spent reading.” According Dr. Al Otaiba, “The Lamplighter facilities, faculty, and leadership team amaze me.” She described how SMU is excited about such partnerships with schools. “During one of my visits, a doctoral student and I engaged with faculty around the topic of vocabulary building.” She said the 10 LAMPPOST Third Grade teacher Becky Logsdon and Assistant Head for Academics Vicki Raney work with Lower School students on reading skills at Lamplighter. knowledge level of Lamplighter faculty was already strong and that they were open to learning new strategies. “It was evident that the School’s culture is innovative and iterative.” She said one of her colleagues, Dr. Gifford, works with the faculty’s literacy team. “This year they are working on writing initiatives,” she expanded. Dr. Gifford, a research specialist at SMU’s School of Education, also meets regularly with Lamplighter faculty so they can discuss various aspects of reading instruction. In turn, Gifford offers books and articles that support the School’s literacy curriculum. Gifford described the partnership as one that is beneficial for everyone. “I am thrilled to be able to work with these teachers and impart what I know about research to classroom practices. In order for ALL children to succeed and maximize their learning potential, there must be a shared system of responsibility between researchers and educators.” Gifford explained that SMU faculty is committed to bringing evidence-based practices to the classroom. “The responsiveness of the teachers and administrators at Lamplighter to learning about what works with children is exciting to see. I am thankful for the opportunity.” Third grade teacher Becky Logsdon said the partnership shows how Lamplighter is committed to implementing the current best practices in the field of education. “We’re continually striving to learn more about how to improve our instruction and pedagogy.” She said that Dr. Gifford has brought a wealth of knowledge. “She suggested assessments, intervention strategies, lesson ideas, and ways of organizing our curriculum.” Logsdon explained that the work with Gifford “continues to ensure that our curriculum is both rigorous and developmentally appropriate.” Fellow faculty members are also supportive. Annie Jonas, a second grade teacher, explained that Lamplighter faculty meets with Gifford to discuss reading topics and questions “that are currently happening in our classrooms.” She explained that the School’s literacy teachers appreciate the resources. “From organizing lesson plans to analyzing data, we value Dr. Gifford’s guidance and support of our literacy curriculum.” Teacher Stout believes regular workshops and resource exchanges with Dr. Gifford have provided teachers “with dynamic opportunities to both challenge and reinforce our own best practices,” she said. CoverStory “We are certain that our relationship with SMU strengthens our work each day and that our collaboration with professors such as Dr. Gifford reinforces our commitment to serious education,” Raney revealed. Lamplighter is also working with SMU to improve its foreign language program with School of Education professor Dr. Doris Baker. “Keen observations and the vast experience of Dr. Baker provide us with insights that strengthen our Spanish program,” said Jezabel Guadalupe, Lamplighter’s Lower School Spanish teacher. “Her connection with a school in Santiago, Chile, is opening doors to another world for our students.” SMU’s Dr. Doris Baker with Lower School students in their Spanish classroom Dr. Baker believes the partnership with Lamplighter has provided “a closer connection between research and practice.” She explained that frequently, the dissemination of research findings takes longer than expected, and it is difficult for practitioners to access that research and implement the findings in their classrooms. “This gap between research and practice is particularly acute when teaching children a second language,” she explained. “Thus, the partnership with Lamplighter provides the opportunity for researchers like me to share with their Spanish teachers what we know about teaching children a second language.” At the same time, Baker said she also benefits from the partnership “by learning firsthand what teachers are struggling with most, and how the research could be focused when trying to find answers to the teachers’ most pressing issues.” Dr. Baker and Ms. Guadalupe worked on using content that students will already be learning in their science classes to teach words and sentences in Spanish. “Ms. Guadalupe and I discussed the fact that when students are already familiar with the content, it makes the learning of words in Spanish less demanding; following the research indicating that it is difficult for second language learners to focus on both the content and the language.” 1 said Baker understands teaching and language acquisition well; therefore, “working with her has been not only rewarding but also engaging.” She said the life cycle of butterflies is an example of faculty teaching words and sentences in Spanish as well as connecting students to cultural events in Latin American countries and Spain. “Ms. Guadalupe and I discussed the idea of children describing the life cycle of the Monarch butterflies that migrate to the state of Michoacán, Mexico, every year, as well as how the Monarch butterflies form part of the Day of the Dead celebration in Mexico.” She explained how, in this particular case, students would be learning the vocabulary to describe the life cycle of the Monarch butterflies (which they would already know in English), and at the same time they would be learning about an important tradition in Mexico. Baker suggested that by reducing the content demands (the content students have already learned), the language demands can be increased, and students can focus on building their language proficiency. Assessing the partnership, Raney suggested that “most schools do not have access to such professionals.” She is encouraged that Lamplighter faculty understands “what a privilege it is to have these professors just a quick drive, phone call, or an email away.” Dr. Al Otaiba concurred, “Our College of Education team enjoys working in partnership with Lamplighter teachers. There are tremendous reciprocal benefits and we hope that this may also lead to some research initiatives.” Other ideas Baker and Guadalupe discussed to enhance Spanish language instruction include building student vocabulary “with simple but engaging games and activities that can help students read and write books in Spanish,” described Baker. “I look forward to the continued collaboration with Lamplighter and supporting their efforts to teach children Spanish, the second most widely spoken language in the world,” she smiled. Guadalupe agreed and said the collaboration with Dr. Baker has been particularly beneficial for the School’s Spanish program. “Professor Baker has extensive experience with assessment tools and the developing of language as well as reading programs.” She Baker, who was born in Brazil, grew up in Colombia and Mexico. The highly credentialed professor has also provided professional development and consultation to parents, teachers, and researchers in Chile, Argentina, Mexico, and Spain. Next on tap is expanding the partnership to include the School’s early childhood division. Judith Mullens, director of the EC program at Lamplighter, said she is “looking forward to professional development opportunities” with SMU professors of Early Childhood Development and Education.

In this issue, we feature the amazing photography of Mattingly Award winner and Spanish teacher Jezabel Guadalupe; the continued devotion of Habitat for Humanity volunteer and early childhood teacher Debbie Herskovitz; the commitment to science education by Lamplighter’s Perot Museum of Nature and Science coordinator Gretchen Pollom; the dedication to professional development and higher learning of early childhood director Judith Mullens, school counselor Jill Wiedman, and teachers Hannah Brown and Cheryl Shulman; and a warm Lamplighter welcome to new teachers Lauren Hardage, Maggie Fulton, Kate Mouchet, and Rachel Gutierrez. FacultyFocus Romanian landscape by Mattingly Award winner Jezabel Guadalupe FacultyFocus Herskovitz’s Habitat Former Mattingly winner goes global for Habitat for Humanity By Debbie Herskovitz Romancing Romania By Jezabel Guadalupe, Lamplighter Spanish teacher This summer I had the extraordinary opportunity of exploring and photographing some parts of a special country called Romania in southeastern Europe. Being able to explore and photograph ancient fortified churches, wooden churches, markets, cemeteries, artisans, and private houses, as well as its beautiful people was a true delight. My first stop was in the region of Maramures, one of the farthest regions of the European Union. Villages in the mesmerizing Maramures region where people preserve old ways of life seem to be untouched by modern times. Shepherds, horse-drawn carts, unspoiled large pasture fields, hens clucking, large wood-carved gates, wood barns, and dirt roads are simply the norm in this breathtaking region. The second destination on my trip was the Transylvania region in central Romania. This region is home to well-preserved medieval Saxon towns such as Sighisoara and fortified churches such as the 14th century one in Biertan. Transylvania’s large towns in the summer are busy with locals and tourists, but easy to navigate on its cobbled streets. Small villages in the region are quiet throughout the day, but also full of excitement and charm. Last on my visit was the capital, Bucharest. Bucharest is the largest city in the country and also its cultural, industrial, and financial center. It is modern, old, accessible, and safe. An important element about the city is that landmarks appear to be always close in distance. You will notice people walking 14 LAMPPOST everywhere. Historical and Communist-era architecture surrounds you. Coffee shops, bookstores, churches, and museums are available to you on almost every street of the centru (Romanian for town center). Bucharest is also home to the largest civil structure, named the People’s Palace, an impressive multi-purpose building constructed during the Communist era. Romania is a country of contrasts, rural and modern. It is a place that resembles a fairy tale, a place worth visiting, photographing, and enjoying. After exploring this unique and inspiring country, I felt extremely fortunate and accomplished: fortunate for having visited this wonderful place and accomplished for being able to capture it with pictures. I am currently working to complete a photographic essay of my experience, all thanks to the Mattingly fund! Who knew that being awarded the Pat Mattingly Fund three years ago would have changed my life? It was 2011 when I was given the grant to attend a global Habitat for Humanity build in Fiji, and my view of the world expanded exponentially. At the end of this summer, I returned from Portugal where I had completed my third Global Village Habitat for Humanity build. I was there for almost two weeks rehabilitating an 80-year-old stone house for a single mother with three children. I worked alongside 16 people of different ages and backgrounds from across the United States. I love traveling and learning about diverse cultures along with meeting new and interesting people on these global builds. I also volunteer with Habitat for Humanity locally in Dallas with my two boys, Jake and Mitchell. I hope that I have instilled in my children the importance of community service and the love of helping others less fortunate. Habitat’s mission is to have “a world where everyone has a decent place to live.” We are so lucky to have that and so much more. Every week I check the Habitat for Humanity calendar for dates and locations for my next global build. I can’t wait; where will I go next? Debbie in Portugal; and in Dallas with sons, Jake and Mitchell Early Engineering Taking the “E” from STEM is the focus of a new Night Light class By Gretchen Pollom, Lamplighter’s Perot Museum of Nature and Science Coordinator Children love to build, design, and create things. This happens at an early age while stacking cups, creating forts with pillows, using cardboard boxes to make houses and wood blocks to make towers, and turning Duplo Legos into simple machines and space ships. The more traditional Lego sets are equally fun for children and parents, but we often have different agendas: parents want to complete the project and display the tidy creations; children use the same opportunity to practice step-by-step directions, but the work does not stop there. When we are quiet, we will hear creative play at work. The characters come to life! When a Lego set breaks, as it will inevitably do, the same Lego pieces are reimagined as something new. This is when the creative juices flow. Children use household items like paper clips, coins, balloons, tape, glue, paper, cardboard, scissors, egg cartons, paper towel holders, plastic bottles, and bottle caps to make new things. Open spaces stocked with these common items are great laboratories for curious minds. Taking the “E” from STEM and using “engineering” as the focus for a new Night Light class is a logical next step for the inventive and curious students at Lamplighter. Students will brainstorm, plan, FacultyFocus design, test, and share results related to their projects. Examples of some of the projects are creating a super bouncy ball out of a balloon, designing a parachute for a safe landing, building an instrument for measuring wind speed, designing a windmill that lifts weight, and creating something that will solve a problem. The more opportunities children have to ask questions, brainstorm ideas, design and build prototypes, test, redesign, and share their results, the more comfortable they will be in solving real-world problems. At the Perot Museum of Nature and Science, the Engineering Hall is a favorite of many children. For example, children can build a sturdy bridge for cars to drive across and design a building that can withstand an earthquake, both of which are important responsibilities of an engineer. Children delight in the “Build It Garage.” They design, test, and redesign their own cars, airplanes, rockets, and catapults. Lamplighter students will “build it” this Fall in “E is for Engineering.” Exercising Options PE and Science Teachers collaborate By Gretchen Pollom, Lamplighter’s Perot Museum of Nature and Science Coordinator Last spring, teachers April Seeds and Bill Burton and I planned and taught a kindergarten lesson based on the Pitsco “STEM in the Gym” unit. This fall, we used our experiences and results to write a paper that we submitted to the magazine Science and Children. As many in the Lamplighter community know, Bill has written several articles that were published in or are in the pipeline for Science and Children. With Bill’s guidance, we developed a cross-curricular science and PE lesson focused on developing gross motor skills while reinforcing the kindergarten students’ understanding of simple machines and force. Our first step in planning the lesson involved creating an overall vision for the students’ experience. We designed five stations that worked large muscle groups in the arms, legs, upper back, and core. The stations were set up with scooters, force plates, pulley systems, gears, wheels and axles, buckets, and balls. Our second step involved implementing and documenting the lesson. Each student had the opportunity to use the simple machine(s) at each station, to observe how machines made the work easier, and to compare and contrast how changing variables (e.g., the amount of force exerted) affected the experiment. Students used wheels and axles on the scooters and pulley systems attached to the wall to move one another across the floor; they used a gear and rope system to pull a scooter across the floor; and a brick-filled bucket was lifted off the floor using a pulley system. Finally, two stations were set up using force plates to measure the amount of force exerted when pushing off the wall or bouncing a ball. Our last step involved assessing the work, collecting photos, and writing the paper. This step taught us the most valuable lessons of the experience: what worked, what we would do differently, and what other opportunities exist for a PE and science “connection.” The students enjoyed the experience as evidenced by their reactions during the PE class. LAMPPOST 15 FacultyFocus Continuing at Columbia Pictured left to right: Gayle McCoy, Lindsey Weems, Judith Mullens, and Hannah Brown Oh, the Places You’ll Go! By Judith Mullens, Director of Early Childhood “You have brains in your head.You have feet in your shoes.You can steer yourself any direction you choose.You’re on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who’ll decide where to go...” – Dr. Seuss This summer, two colleagues from Lamplighter’s Early Childhood division did just that: they packed up their suitcases and flew off to New York City at the end of June for one week of intensive training at Columbia University Teachers College Reading & Writing Project (TCRWP) to learn more about teaching reading and writing from some of the greatest educators and authors in America and from around the world today. Because of Lamplighter’s commitment to a robust professional development program, each year teachers are able to turn their dreams into reality thereby greatly enriching the learning experiences of their students. This summer, Lamplighter faculty brought back new ideas and inspiration from David Booth, Professor Emeritus in Education at the University of Toronto; Lucy Calkins, 16 LAMPPOST In Search of a Love of Reading Founding Director of TCRWP and author of numerous books on reading, including one of the top 10 New York Times bestselling educational books, Pathways to the Common Core; Kathy Collins, author of Growing Readers: Units of Study in the Primary Classroom; Mary Ehrenworth, co-author of Investigative Journalism and Position Papers: Research and Argument; and Jacqueline Woodson, author of the Coretta Scott King Award-winning book, Miracle’s Boys and The Other Side. The week flew by as teachers became students again: they went to incredibly rich classes; shared their insights and learning in small groups; attended lectures that made them cry, laugh, and think hard; and stayed up late doing their homework. On the last day, with suitcases in hand, Lamplighter faculty took one last trip around the corner to the Bank Street Bookstore in Morningside Heights to drink in the titles and illustrations of some of the best children’s books available today. All of this was packed up neatly inside the minds and hearts of these two educators and safely brought back to the students at Lamplighter. What a dream, what a gift. Thank you, Lamplighter, for making things that seem impossible, real. By Hannah Brown, Kindergarten Teacher During the summer reading and writing workshop at Columbia University Teachers College in New York City, learning went well beyond the material presented by the workshop professors. I networked with teachers from other states and countries, heard from various speakers, such as the author of The Other Side; and had time to reflect and learn from supplemental readings during the evening hours. After hearing Jacqueline Woodson read her new book, The Other Side, I was moved to try to read picture books in the same way that our children read their books– by reading the pictures first. I learned that as adults, we forget how meaningful and magical the illustrations are in the books we read. I was challenged through Woodson’s lecture to read the pictures before I begin to look at the words with my students. This will help our youngest readers by helping them experience every part of the story. Picture books are again as special to me as they were when I was 5 years old. The week at Columbia University Teachers College Reading and Writing Project FacultyFocus gave me new insight and strategies to enrich and strengthen our reading program. Through featured authors and classic books, students will hear robust vocabulary while they are transported to other places that challenge their imagination and encourage curiosity. In our kindergarten classrooms, you will find our youngest independent readers are confident and proud of themselves, but the most important thing you will find are our students developing a love of reading. Growing with Gesell Faculty members attend Gesell Development Observation Workshop By teacher Cheryl Shulman and school counselor Jill Wiedman Gesell’s theory is known as maturationaldevelopmental. It is the foundation of nearly every other theory of human development that came after Gesell’s. Early in the 20th century, Dr. Gesell observed and documented patterns in the way children develop, showing that all children go through similar and predictable sequences, though each child moves through these sequences at his or her own rate or pace. At Lamplighter, we frequently use the GDO in early childhood. The data we gather is always useful and is a piece of the puzzle when making decisions and understanding where a child is developmentally versus chronologically. Some information for this article was found at http://www.gesellinstitute.org/ Freshmen Faculty Lamplighter welcomes four new teachers Lower School teacher Maggie Fulton comes from a family of educators. Two of her sisters are teachers, and her grandfather was the founder of Greenhill School, from which she graduated. Ms. Fulton has a Bachelor of Science in Early Childhood Education and a Master’s in Elementary Education from Texas Christian University. She taught two years in Frisco ISD and now teaches first grade. “Though we have both been certified in Gesell, we attended the Gesell Developmental Observation (GDO) Workshop last May to learn about new additions to the assessment. Gesell’s mission is to promote the principles of child development as the basis for all decision making for young children. The vision is that all children enjoy their childhood, and that they have the time and opportunity to grow and to learn at their own pace and in their own way. We studied with Erin Akers, Director of Gesell’s National Lecture Staff, at St. James Episcopal School in Corpus Christi, Texas. Our workshop focused on early child development, specifically children ages 2½ through 6.
