Great Respect for Lilian
February 8, 2011
Lucky is the child who grows up with parents who basically love and accept themselves, and therefore can accept and love their child, who reminds them so often of their own selves.

"I think the great struggle of our time — and no doubt for generations to come — is the struggle for equality. But we might ask: equality for what? People are not equally tall or musical or mathematical or athletic or beautiful; but they are equally human! They are equally human in the sense that they all have hopes and dreams and wishes and fantasies and aspirations and fears and doubts. They all want to be treated with respect and dignity and want to feel loved by someone. In these ways it seems to me, all of the world's people have much more in common than they have apart."

Lilian Katz was the keynote speaker this weekend at the MnAEYC/MnSACA Conference here in St. Paul. The Reggio-Inspired Network of Minnesota hosted a table with information about our organization and Reggio-Inspired work. Before her talk she was casually walking the halls looking at exhibits. Our sign caught her eye and she came over sharing that she had just given a lecture to a conference in Lima, Peru. Not only is her thinking, writing and speaking exceptional and insightful, but as a person she was charming, engaging and very supportive of our work. I was so impressed with her generosity of time and deeply engaging attitude. She is truly "one of the leading change-makers in our field".

Abstract
This paper addresses the challenges facing early childhood educators regarding science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education. The first section discusses some distinctions between academic and intellectual goals and their implications for early childhood pedagogy. The second section outlines the potential contribution of the Project Approach to addressing basic STEM goals, and the final section discusses issues related to standards.

This one was really hard. I initially checked off about 25 people and wanted to add more. Lilian Katz is probably our greatest living treasure in early childhood. She consistently articulates knowledge and respect for children and the adults who work with them. May she live at least until 120!
