Ever walk in someone else's shoes?

InquiryLearn builds understanding
across differences

• motivating community action projects

• interdisciplinary classroom curricula

• innovative, Web-based distance learning projects

I have collaborated with the following foundations to help translate their missions into concrete school and community action projects:

• Center on Hunger and Poverty, Heller School of Social Policy, Brandeis University (kNOw Hunger, online middle school and high school domestic hunger and poverty social justice curricula and community action plans)

• Harvard University's School of Public Health (Peace It Together: Strategies for Violence Prevention and Learning to Lead, award-winning interactive television series, award winning website and curriculum)

• The Gerda and Kurt Klein Foundation (Emmy®-nominated Memories, Voices & Choices: Lessons Learned from the Holocaust and Global Genocides; Memories, Voices & Choices: A Tolerance Curriculum)

• The Gerda and Kurt Klein Foundation and Alan Shawn Feinstein Foundation (hunger service learning program)

• And you? Let's collaborate to help young people respond effectively to today's issues. My nationally-award-winning curricula and Web-based distance learning projects will provide them with the necessary tools to comprehend and exercise their civic responsibility in a diverse society, using their minds, hearts, and voices to take concrete, positive action locally, nationally, and globally. Let's talk!

Here is what one colleague has said about my work…
"I remain impressed with Paula's professional background and intellectual rigor. She is first and foremost an educator who brings a commitment to issues of social justice to every program she designs. Through working with Paula I learned how her social vision influences every aspect of each project. In each of her programs, whether on world languages, the humanities, and/or the social sciences, is reflected a thoughtfulness and commitment to civic education. She has a deep interest in developing distance learning programs that enhance students understanding of civic responsibility through teaching students to analyze different viewpoints, recognize their participation in a diverse society, and seek to challenge inequities.
