Upcoming Thinking with Children: Stories and Conversations

Join us as we reflect on children’s stories and conversations with Shelly Brandon

Please join us as we welcome Shelly Brandon for a day of reflection, lively conversation, and story sharing. Together, we’ll explore what it means to be a reflective and critical thinker, both as an adult and as a child.

Throughout the day, Shelly will share stories from her days as a toddler educator and how a vibrant group of two-year-olds inspired her to reimagine her role as an educator.

As participants, we can expect:

• Opportunities to reflect with colleagues through guided conversations
• Invitations to engage in reflective writing exercises that consider both educator and child perspectives
