Before moving with her husband and three children to Asheville, Renee lived for 15 years in Paradox Valley, Utah, a remote community on the Utah-Colorado border, After the public school closed twice, Renee and other community members took their children’s education into their hands and started a multi-sensory, experiential charter school that yielded tremendous results for at-risk students. In 1997, Renee began her tenure as Executive Director at Rainbow Community School, which has become a model school for holistic education.
Enjoy this delightful one-hour podcast where Renee shares about the purpose of educating our youth and how we can better teach to and engage the whole child in the learning process. Renee also shares about her experience this past summer when she participated in the Harvard Graduate School of Education’s “The Future of Learning” program, working with educators from all over the world.
