In this article, my coauthors, who took my early education management and leadership course in 2023, share their experiences teaching to and learning from their peers as a part of their final presentation assignments.
Author Maria Beteta describes how an innocent question became an opportunity to explore powerful concepts such as identity, culture, self-perception, differences, and similarities that connect us all.
To empower our children to embrace their own identities and the diversity around them, we need to first engage in identity-affirming, self-reflective practices ourselves.
Feelings of being an imposter, along with the delicately woven systems of oppression that exist in schools, often stop educators from sharing their true identities.
The authors in this collection examine their own identities by looking at their histories; reflecting on how their identities that arise from group memberships influence their teaching.

The most powerful learning I have gleaned from my work with the project approach is that when children learn to inquire, they are learning how to learn. They are empowered to ask questions and seek answers.
The more important truth is that it does not matter what we label Vivian Paley in the end if our goal is authenticity. It only matters that we disseminate her work to the next generation of early childhood teachers, so that they, too, may tame the classro
Vivian Paley’s contribution to the field of early childhood education and teacher education is certainly her approach to creating the space and opportunities for children to share their stories through storytelling and story acting, but it is much more.
