I'm an advocate for the science of child development, the power of risky play and supporting families in understanding both! I have 20+ years in the ECE field as a community based researcher, professional trainer and community organizer. The last 10 years as a program Director/Owner.

Anne Armstrong is a PhD candidate in the Department of Natural Resources at Cornell University. Her research areas include climate change communication, environmental education, and the links among place, social practices, and identity in environmental stewardship.

I coordinate a minor in environmental education at Elon University. I teach the capstone course outside in a forest classroom. My research is broadly focused on ecologically minded teaching.

I am currently a graduate student in the International Education program at the George Washington University. My focus is environmental and sustainability education being promoted in compulsory schools globally through curriculum development and teacher training. Global EE is my passion and goal.

I collaborate with university staff & community organizations to create internship & research projects that undergraduates conduct while enrolled in my professional & sustainable development course. My research explores using transformative learning to develop students' sustainability competencies.
