Throughout the next couple of weeks I will be listening to podcasts from World Forum Foundation Radio.
The podcast that I listened to focused on Susan Lyon. She began her teaching career when she was 22 years old. Since then she has done a great deal to better the field of early childhood education.

| Susan Lyon |
“Susan Lyon was intrigued by a small child’s conception of the word “city”, and began pondering how children think, eventually visiting Reggio Emilia and then bringing the “100 Languages of Children” exhibit to the San Francisco Bay area on two occasions. She initiated the Innovative Teacher Project, and began working with the Presidio Child Care Center and the San Francisco public schools. Currently she is working with an Italian architect to rehab a San Francisco structure into the first Italian immersion preschool” (World Forum Foundation, 2012).
Susan Lyon believes that you should really listen when children talk to you so that you can learn how to help them.

Angela,
ReplyDeleteWorld Podcast offers some outstanding people who have made great strides in the lives of children. I also chose to listen to World Podcast and I will make sure that I listen to one of Ms. Lyon’s session. I love the idea that Ms. Lyon's believes that we should take our cues from children by listening to what they have to say. This fact is very true. The child knows his or her personal struggles, so who better to get the information from then the source itself! Great blog!!!
