Nurturing Brilliance

I am celebrating!
My book is here!

And I have some amazing surprises!

I have distilled decades of research and experience to create the Play-Activated Learning model for understanding children’s play and learning.

The Play-Activated Learning model gives educators and families an understanding of a child’s behavior in the classroom during free play, including the growth unfolding in the brain.

It builds on a foundation rooted in your view of the child and progresses through four stages:

Permission, allowed by the educator's preparation of a yes environment

Choice, supported by the educator's noticing of play schema and urges

Repetition, elevated by the educator's facilitation of play invitations

Voice, understood through the learner's identity

The Play-Activated Learning model will illuminate the expert you already are and provide you with tools to explain why you teach the way you do, so that all well-intended parties can support the ultimate goal—children’s growth and learning.
