My Theorists: The Humbling Path of Growing as an Early Childhood Teacher is a story-shaped exploration of what it really means to learn alongside children. Told through the eyes of a fictional, first-time kindergarten teacher who never planned to teach, it follows a year of small disasters, slow breakthroughs and unexpected grace.Twelve legendary education thinkers, Fröbel, Montessori, Dewey, Erikson, Piaget, Vygotsky, Steiner, Malaguzzi, Skinner, Bandura, Gardner and Bronfenbrenner, appear as wise (and occasionally exasperating) passengers on her daily drive home. Each chapter blends narrative, reflection, and practical insight into the social, emotional, and philosophical work of teaching in the early years.Through stories of circle times that won’t hold, paint that escapes paper, snack-time economics and a rainstorm that turns the classroom into a museum, My Theorists invites educators and parents to find both courage and humility in the everyday act of helping children grow.
