Layers of Seeing: How Our History Influences Observation
from The Intentional ECE · host Cathy Belgrave
In this episode, we explore how an educator’s personal history—our beliefs, values, and lived experiences—shapes what we notice and how we interpret children’s actions and words. Drawing on insights from Beau Lotto and Ann Pelo, we reflect on perception, cultural lens, and the power of self-awareness in observation. When we look inward as we look outward, our observations become more intentional, responsive, and grounded in care.Resources:Deviate by Beau LottoFrom Teaching to Thinking by Ann Pelo & Margie Carter
