About ivonprefontaine

I have been an educator for almost 20 years. Prior to that, I worked in private industry for 15 years, then returned to university to earn my education degree. For the past 11 years, I have been a co-creator of learning in a unique, progressive, alternative educational school of choice. Currently, I am engaged in a doctoral program at Gonzaga University in Spokane. A main theme in my learning there has been the roles of systems thinking, complexity theory, and organizational theory, and how they apply to education generally and the learning environment I share with students, parents, and colleagues.

  2. I am glad you published it again.I hear my neighbors say the school holidays are too long for working parents.So children are not valued nor can they roam abouit and have fin like we did..And adults have no time for reverie and reflection,.We are constantl advise about how to prevent cancer etc which means some live in dread.
    Who or what can we trust now when God seems to have disappeared?

  3. I’ve actually never seen this before! So there are some of us out there. I love it. Very true. How do we fix this? I came across your blog from Slyver Blaque’s site. I’m an educator too, so I am finding it very relevant. Now following.
