Ep. 1: Why Early Childhood Is Not Just Cute with Amanda Morgan

Our guest, Amanda Morgan, is a nationally-recognized speaker, author of the blog Not Just Cute, and mom of four incredible boys. As a firm believer that the children we teach deserve so much more than just cute, Amanda has made it her mission to bridge the looming gap between researchers and educators by sharing current research in practical, digestible ways.    In our conversation today, Amanda discusses the powerful impact of intentional teaching and shares simple yet transformative ways to practice it in your classroom. She also challenges you to slow down and recognize that childhood is meant to take time, and that there is purpose to be found in the process.    Amanda has graciously given ECCN exclusive pricing on her Why We Play letters—a printable collection of letters that explain the why behind play for parents, administrators, and community members.
