This episode features our conversation with Maura Bell who changed from her career as a professional ballet dancer to education. Teaching in a university laboratory school, Bell infuses her Reggio inspired pedagogy with her understanding of expressive movement. Bell uses dance as a metaphor for illuminating pedagogical principles in the Scholarly Personal Narrative she wrote for completion of her Master’s degree. Those with an interest in early childhood education, the Reggio philosophy, and personal narrative as a genre for practice-embedded inquiry can read “Get to the Point(e): Dancing between the Reggio Philosophy, Culturally Relevant Teaching and Trauma-Informed Care” at scholarpractitionernexus.com
