Project and Inquiry Based Learning (PIBL) is a pedagogy approach to early childhood education that celebrates the image of the child as curious and capable while emphasizing skillful togetherness through collaborative learning. By following the children’s thinking, teachers become co-researchers alongside the children and scaffold learning opportunities to extend their thinking. Using concrete strategies and tools, teachers learn to plan, implement, observe, document, and reflect with intention.

Lauren has been serving in early childhood for over eleven years! She graduated with honors from the University of Michigan–Dearborn with a Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education and holds Early Childhood endorsements (General and Special education). The Reggio Emilia Approach has captured Lauren’s heart as it validates children’s capabilities and partnership in the learning process through child-centered learning experiences. Children share what they know, not only with their voices, but also through the hundred languages of representation. Children draw, paint, sculpt, sing, move their bodies to tell stories of what they know about the world around them. This dialogue is such a beautiful exchange that holds such incredible value, especially when adults learn how to listen to their gifts in a collaborative setting. Lauren’s passion for Art as Language and inquiry-based learning in early childhood is what led her into the role as Art Studio Teacher and Pedagogy Coach at the U School, and trainer for Ubuntu Communities.
