Kerry McDonald
As we continue these journeys into questioning what it is to be free and how easy it is to let childrens natural light shine when left to pursue their interests at their own pace through their own internal motivation, we couldnt be more gifted to be joined today by someone I read regularly and definitely resonate with. All her writings seem to be so very ripe for the moment and engaging. Kerry McDonald is an amazing guest who deals with the very important issues of today in the world of education.
We´re sorry you missed the talk. Please stay tuned to hear the replays beginning in March!
