essays for the Fred Rogers Institute
Here is a full inventory of essays I wrote from 2018-2024 for the Fred Rogers Institute as part of their collection of resources for educators, families, and helpers. Many of the ideas grew from conversations and collaborative learning with educators in Educators’ Neighborhood. As a Senior Fellow in Teaching and Learning, I study episodes of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, facilitate Episode Talks for the Educators’ Neighborhood community and others who are interested, and support educators to share and tell their stories about their practice connected to the work of Fred Rogers.
Here are some essays highlights. The full list of my archived essays is below, along with a link to access many other resources held on the Fred Rogers Institute Resource Page. Enjoy!
