“Where Do I Even Begin?” Designing with the Third Teacher in Mind

Hi, I’m Veronica Green — founder of Cultivating Confidence – Early Years Consultancy, Early Childhood Educator, former college instructor, and passionate advocate for child-led learning. With experience across classrooms, leadership, family child care, and post-secondary education, I help educators move beyond 'Pinterest perfect' and develop learning environments that support curiosity, thinking, and connection. Known for blending practical strategies with deep reflection (and probably a few loose parts along the way), my sessions are designed to leave educators feeling inspired, capable, and ready to confidently curate their third teacher.

Before moving furniture, buying new materials, or redesigning your classroom, discover how to see your learning environment through a new pedagogical lens. You'll leave with greater confidence to make intentional decisions that support children's thinking, learning, and participation.

• Recognize what your environment is already communicating to children and educators.
• Apply four foundational principles before making intentional changes to your space.
• Move beyond decorating to designing with the Third Teacher in mind.
• Choose one meaningful next step that better supports children's thinking, learning, and participation.
