About Elizabeth W.

I have a passion for learning about learning, and finding ways to help others learn. I believe learning experiences should be designed with learners at the center, and grounded on research about how people learn best. Successful learning experiences at all ages must be authentic, must foster not only the acquisition of content knowledge but also the development of skills such as innovation, creativity, collaboration, problem solving, compassion, empathy, and the mindset to adapt to a changing world. I’m a lifelong learner interested in topics such as essentialism, vulnerability, empathy, and leading with courage.
