  • TWTBIM_0088 Why Do We Teach?
    Ross has big questions: Why do we do what we do? What brought us into the field of early childhood education and what sustains the passion for teaching? He sparks a conversation about human and cultural development, the dynamic nature of life in the classroom, the joy of experiencing each day as a new day, the challenges that little "zen masters" throw at us, and the collaborative nature of working with young children.

  • TWTBIM_0086 Affection
    Hugs are good!  Physical closeness brings feelings of comfort, safety, joy, and loving.  In creating a classroom climate that supports expression of affection, teachers should be on the lookout for hidden bias or expectations that unintentionally restrict children's demonstrations of affection.
