The Secret to Student-Centered Math Instruction
Q: What research or thinker inspires the approach to math identity you describe?
Wendy points to John Holt's emphasis on trusting children, arguing that believing in kids' capabilities is foundational and should guide our educational practices.
The Hidden Power of P.E. Class

The Hidden Power of P.E. Class
Q: What research or inspiration shaped your approach to PE and movement for kids?

Summer Boredom? Try These Movement Ideas for Every Age
Q: How did your online movement videos begin, and what sparked the idea?
The idea started on a rainy day when a bake-sale accidently pushed learning indoors; I set up a simple YouTube video to keep kids moving during setup, which sparked the realization that synchronized movement videos could engage students and be used by teachers as a recurring resource.
The Summer Reading Toolkit Every Family Needs
Q: How should families define summer reading to ensure it counts?
Families should frame summer reading as a knowledge-building activity that includes discussing, writing, and producing tangible outcomes (maps, books, recordings) rather than simply completing a traditional stack of books, thereby connecting reading to real-world purposes.
