About 15 years ago, give or take, I saw a commercial for an upcoming episode of 20/20. It showed that a story called "Wild About Learning" would be featured. I set the timer on the vcr. The feature inspired me. I took that vhs videotape and showed it at the daycare I worked at to light a fire in the Early Childhood Educators I worked with. It worked. And when I left there and moved to another center 12 years ago, I brought the tape with me. Now I show it to co-workers as well as parents. This feature re-affirmed my belief and intrinsic know-how about child-centered practice and it's validity. It crystallized all my previous concepts and perceptions of this mandate I had set myself as a practitioner.
When I saw the listings for the conferences here in Nova Scotia for 2007, and I saw Bev Bos listed as the keynote as well as a workshop leader I was blown away. You see, it was Bev Bos that was featured on 20/20 all those years ago. It is Bev Bos who inspired me. She is the star on my well-worn vhs tape. I could not wait to meet her.
About Me

- I can be verbose, obnoxious, sarcastic, acerbic, yet I can also be sappy, occassionally naive, and sentimental. I am reflective when well rested. I love to write, to muse, to vent, to speculate, to preach, to pontificate, to prattle... I think waaaaaaay too much about stuff... I watch waaaaaay too much tv and movies... I love to read!
