Join Anji Educator Jesse Coffino for three sessions on adult decision-making in the child’s built environment. We will explore the practical and theoretical context for the principles that Anji educators apply to their environments. Participants will reflect and share based on videos and images of play and school environments that represent a diverse range of early childhood, primary, and community-based settings.
Dates: August 13, 20, and 27.
Time: 5:00-6:00 PM Pacific.
Each session is hosted on Zoom and lasts one hour.
A certificate of completion is provided to every participant.
No previous training in Anji Play is required to participate, and the program is open to early educators, primary educators, administrators, policy-makers, designers, researchers, and parents.
About the facilitator:
Over the last decade, Jesse Coffino has worked closely with Anji Play founder Ms. Cheng Xueqin and the educators of Anji County, China to translate the transformative practices of Anji Play for global practitioners. Jesse has supported the learning and growth of educators in America, South America, Africa, Asia, Australia, and Europe through the design and delivery of in-person and virtual professional development, public speaking, consulting, and writing. Jesse is deeply committed to creating safe spaces for reflection and discovery that meet each learner where they are. According to Jesse, “Creating safety to take risks and experience joy, to become deeply engaged, and to reflect freely and openly in your own voice guides every aspect of our work and is the foundation of deep, meaningful, and lasting learning and growth.” Jesse has lectured at institutions including Harvard, MIT, BRAC, Google, and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
