She has years of experience in working with children of all ages, and has enjoyed a close working relationship with HOT Schools for many years. Nancy shares ideas on how to initiate and sustain a caring and challenging culture throughout the whole school community; explores how promoting inclusion and acceptance in schools leads to increased respect among students, thereby reducing bullying and peer aggression; and engages participants in exercises to establish collaborative, engaged communities that use reflective practice as positive learning communities. Her passion is in creating positive learning communities as a Tribes Learning Communities trainer.
