Roman"'><o:p></o:p></span></h2> <p><span style='font-size:16.0pt'>Each of the founders of the school is a long-standing educator. Collectively we have experience working with learners across the broad span of grades, from pre-school through early middle school, and at the undergraduate and graduate levels. All of us have been very involved in offering leadership and staff development opportunities; our expertise spans cognitive development, literacy, design technology, inquiry, science/math innovation, documentation strategies, ecological education and the arts. Our work, individually and collectively, has earned honors and recognition locally, across the country and internationally. Several of us have worked in leadership positions nationally, published our writings, or presented at conferences, and our work can be found in the publications of others. </span></p> <p style='margin-right:0in'><span style='font-size:16.0pt'>We have worked in schools that represent a broad band of economic, mobility, and language, cultural and family composition demographics. Our work with children draws on childhood motivation and interests, weaving those together with our educational expertise to develop skills and concepts that support life learning and participation in our complex world. </span></p> <p style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><span style='font-size:16.0pt'>Over the course of our professional lives we have developed alliances with several key organizations and businesses. Each of us has ties to local universities and colleges from which we draw and support teaching, research and administrative interns. Each of us has extensive experience with the framework of the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Program, British Primary Schools, and the Municipal Preprimary Schools of Reggio Emilia, Italy. </span></p> <p style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'>&nbsp;</p> <p style='margin-right:0in'><span style='font-size:16.0pt'>We are excited about launching a new professional adventure of powerful practice and innovation from the perspective of seasoned educators who have a passion to continue learning, collaboration, reflection, and contribution. </span></p> <p style='margin-right:0in'><span style='font-size:16.0pt'>Imagine a team that is strong and diverse, that enjoys working together daily already! Imagine a team of educators having the adult relationships in place that allow them to fully concentrate on the needs of the children and the development of our school community! Imagine a staff that has generated excitement along their careers, continues to learn, and enjoys what they do! Imagine having instant access to the resources and relationships we have built over those years. </span></p> <p style='margin-right:17.25pt'><span style='font-size:16.0pt'>While YOU imagine that, WE imagine a  home where we are freed from some of the political constraints that can limit the dreams and opportunities of our children. We are excited about joining Northwest Children s Theater and other educational communities that share, extend, and help us shape a vision of a different school model. We aspire to create a sense of place and belonging that inspires children and families beyond the expectations of general schooling. </span></p> <p style='margin-right:0in'><span style='font-size:16.0pt'>Our belief is that we can offer high quality learning, engage children in service and leadership opportunities, and with you create an outstanding school of strong reputation. We believe there is incredible potential here that will ignite us all! </span></p> <p style='margin-right:7.5pt'><span style='font-size:16.0pt'>We invite you to consider the possibilities. We invite you to see our work and talk with us. We look forward to hearing from you. </span></p> <p style='margin-top:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:15.0pt;margin-left: 0in'><span style='font-size:16.0pt'>Kindest regards, </span></p> <p style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><i><span style='font-size:22.0pt; color:#646590'>The Founding Faculty of <span class=GramE>A</span> Renaissance School Of Arts and Sciences<o:p></o:p></span></i></p> <p style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><!--[if gte vml 1]><v:shapetype id="_x0000_t32" coordsize="21600,21600" o:spt="32" o:oned="t" path="m,l21600,21600e" filled="f"> <v:path arrowok="t" fillok="f" o:connecttype="none"/> <o:lock v:ext="edit" shapetype="t"/> </v:shapetype><v:shape id="_x0000_s1026" type="#_x0000_t32" style='position:absolute; margin-left:-.95pt;margin-top:7.5pt;width:895.8pt;height:0;z-index:1' o:connectortype="straight"/><![endif]--><![if !vml]><span style='mso-ignore: vglayout;position:relative;z-index:1;left:-2px;top:9px;width:1196px;height: 11px'><img width=1196 height=2 src="../../../../My Documents/Downloads/A School Worthy of Childhood_files/image001.gif" v:shapes="_x0000_s1026"></span><![endif]><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p> </div> <br style='mso-ignore:vglayout' clear=ALL> <div> <p align=center style='margin-top:0in;margin-right:34.5pt;margin-bottom:15.0pt; margin-left:0in;text-align:center;mso-line-height-alt:25.5pt'><b><i><span style='font-size:26.0pt;color:#646590'>Founders and Board of Directors</span></i></b></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><b><i><span style='font-size: 22.0pt;mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";color:#646590'>Susan Dunn, </span></i></b><i><span style='font-size:22.0pt;mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";color:#646590'>Director, Design and Sciences <b><br> Sally Wells, </b>Pedagogy and Documentation<br> <strong>Will Parnell</strong>, </b>Learning Designs and Expressive and Representational Arts </span></i><i><span style='font-size:22.0pt;mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";color:#646590'> <br> </span></i></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><b><span style='font-size:16.0pt; color:#646590'>SUSAN DUNN </span></b><span style='font-size:16.0pt'>earned her doctorate in science education from the University of Northern Colorado, administrative certification and a graduate degree in elementary education from Portland State University, and undergraduate degrees in fine arts and elementary education from Western Washington University.

She has worked extensively with teachers as a Director of Staff Development/Curriculum/Evaluation, and with undergraduates and graduates as a university/college faculty member.

As a classroom teacher, her work with children ages 5 to 11 is centered on inquiry, capitalizing on the child s natural curiosity, and empowering the learner in decision-making processes and reflection. Sally s love of literacy is illustrated daily in her engagement with the writing process as she collaborates with youngsters to consume and produce text. Her passion for the rich tradition of oral story-telling and children s literature are gifts to each child inspired to stretch the imagination, extending access to ideas and information. </span></p> <p style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><b><span style='font-size:16.0pt; color:#7E7291'>Will Parnell </span></b><span style="font-size: 16.0pt">holds a Doctorate in Educational Leadership from Portland State University with an emphasis in Reggio Emilia, Italy's municipal preprimary schools and infant-toddler centers and their educational approaches. His Master's degree is in French Literature and Pedagogical Studies from Portland State University and he has a Bachelor's of Arts in Romance Languages from the University of Oregon. Will loves to create practical and applicable research that moves schools to higher ground where children can teach adults how to learn with them and teachers and parents can express school values through documentation, collaboration, and reflection on the work. Will's current research centers on children's representational thinking made visible aided by their creative expression. He is writing and publishing many manuscripts on children and teachers' experiences in the early childhood studio--a place where children's many expressive languages demonstrate their human potential.</span></p> </div> </div> </div> </body> </html>
