MEET THE FACULTY

What I love about my job is that I get to not only explore questions about how children do learn but also collaboratively imagine possibilities for how learning with children might happen.Sarah Bridges-Rhoads, PhD

As a faculty member, I see student mentoring as a partnership. A huge part of the joy I take in teaching is knowing that my students and I learn with and from each other.Teri Holbrook, PhD

Creativity and innovation are risky. And, for me, this means understanding failure as a useful and compelling learning experience.Nicole Pourchier, PhD

I like asking: What would my inner artist do? It’s a good reminder to remain curious and celebrate the beauty of tinkering with the unknown.Laura Meyers, PhD
