educator-researcher / atelierista / pedagogical consultant / writer / designer

I am inspired by educational approaches in Reggio Emilia and worldwide that value children and educators as makers of meaning and culture. I create physical and social spaces that are playful and purposeful and believe we learn best through diversity, curiosity and connection.

I love the Atelier. I am going to stay here all day. I will pretend to be Ms Wilenski and when someone comes in and asks: Is Roni here? I’ll say: Oh, she already went back to her classroom.’

Forest / inventing games with cameras
