Helping educators create classrooms rooted in play, inquiry, belonging, and meaningful learning.
​Through professional learning facilitation, writing, and curriculum development, we partner with teachers and school leaders to design learning experiences where curiosity thrives, children’s thinking is valued, and rigorous learning grows from authentic engagement.
Our work supports educators in:
-
designing playful, inquiry-driven learning experiences
-
studying children’s thinking through observation and documentation
-
creating cultures of belonging and intellectual risk-taking
-
reconnecting standards with authentic learning
-
building classrooms rooted in dignity, agency, and joy
We believe all schools should be places where children can fully belong, wonder, and become.
Hi! We're
Christine & Kristi

​
We co-author the weekly newsletter Taproots.
​
Taproots is our space for thinking alongside educators about children, learning, and the kinds of schools we hope to create together.
​
Through stories from classrooms, reflections on teaching, inquiry, play, literacy, documentation, and belonging, we explore what becomes possible when we slow down enough to truly notice children and ourselves.
​
Taproots is about helping deeper teaching and learning take root.
