Amanda has thoughtfully created an environment where students feel empowered to explore, create ideas, and grow in their independence. Every item in her classroom is intentionally chosen, reflecting the care and effort she puts into making the space both inviting and purposeful. She carefully observes and listens to children’s interests and ideas, using what she learns from them to guide and shape her lesson plans. By building learning experiences around what excites and inspires the children, Amanda ensures that each student feels seen, valued, and actively engaged. She makes a point to connect with every child individually, creating opportunities for each of them to participate, contribute their thoughts, and develop confidence in their abilities. Through her dedication, she promotes independence while maintaining a predictable, comforting routine that helps students feel secure and confident. Her hard work is evident in the way children navigate their day with confidence, knowing what to expect and feeling capable of doing things on their own. Amanda’s classroom is a true reflection of her commitment to her students and her passion for meaningful early learning.
I have been to management workshops, not leadership training. This has totally changed my perspective and encouraged me to propel forward in developing my skills.
I am honored and humbled to be a recipient of the Head Start WEST’s Legacy Scholarship. The scholarship helped me get one step closer to achieving my goal of becoming a Head Start Director.
I took part in The disproportionate impact of COVID 19, and how to provide “real” support for black/brown children and families and I just want to say this was an amazing webinar. I hope we can look forward to further conversation on this topic.
Thank you so much for making events like this! I really enjoyed and learned so much teaching strategies to implement STEM in the classroom.
The HR Network was an excellent opportunity to network and learn the best practices from other HR professionals within Head Start programs. You will be amazed by the level of talent and experience of the participants.
The Summer Camp training was powerful and inspiring! Each presenter was very engaging, it’s hard to even pick a favorite session!
The Leadership Challenge training was very relevant to my work as a Head Start leader! Great facilitation; stayed with the program yet allowed time for individual and small group reflections.
