I created this blog with the goal of taking theory and research and simplifying it for people to understand.
This was born from my enjoyment of sitting and connecting with people over coffee to discuss how research and educational theory is applied to improve the learning experiences of children.
This might be discussing the theory itself, how it should be adapted for different cultures or contexts, or what it looks like in practice.
Through the blog I hope to provoke ideas in you as an educator or a parent and help broaden your knowledge and critical thinking.
I attempt to make the research concise and digestible so you can take the most important information and apply it to your own situation. Whatever type of educator you are or if you are simply interested in the topics, I hope that you find it useful.
