ABOUT THIS EPISODE
What if professional learning looked less like a workshop everyone sits through, and more like the way we hope children learn: hands-on, relational, and full of questions? In this panel conversation, Rosalba Bortolotti, Paola Lopez, and Heather Jackson explore who the educator really is, with their own history, their own ideas about teaching, and their own need to belong before they can take risks. They talk about what it takes to learn alongside educators rather than direct them, from a ladybug inquiry that turned into map making to the leadership that protects time for thinking together. It’s an invitation to see educators as complex, diverse learners, and to build a culture where they have the trust and agency to thrive.
