Tom Drummond
Tom Drummond became interested in severe behavior disordered preschool children after the Vietnam Conflict. What started out as volunteering in a classroom at the Experimental Education Unit gradually became a profession. Now he teaches classes about play-based, constructivist curriculum, how to talk and behave in ways that give children freedom and responsibility, how to foster skill development and assess that in a child-responsive, project-oriented classroom, how to manage difficult behavior and set up a classroom so it positively teaches pro-social behavior, how to include parents and communicate with them, and expressive art for young children.
Tom's major life interest is in teaching--how to teach well, how to learn to teach and how to teach others to teach. The process becomes revealed only in continuous open, collaborative, self-reflective development.
We have had at this college teachers like Charma Berg, Loretta Albright, Elaine Smith, Sharon Kovacs, and Jack Bautsch, and a long stream of bright, active inquisitve students all of whom have challenged each other to discover the dimensions of learning to teach children, parents, students, and ourselves.
