"We started working with Amy and her Kindergarten Classroom in 2016. Amy was an early adopter of technology in her classroom. A short year later, we noticed her success in capturing student learning in a digital portfolio using SeeSaw. Amy was eager to share her experience and provide guidance for other teachers looking to implement documentation processes and activities. Amy led a workshop entitled 'Documenting Student Learning' at our EdTech Brunch for teachers — all the feedback we received was highly positive!" - Jani Mitanovski, Co-Founder & CEO of Classmate
"Amy Higgins introduced our graduate writing workshop to Reggio-inspired teaching, a process-based approach to instruction where knowledge is discovered and constructed by the learner rather than through rote and repetitive modes. She designed a playful provocation to stimulate imagination and intellectual curiosity, and promote the power and pleasure of learning with and through physical materials. This open-ended exploration inspired innovative thinking, and allowed our innate poetic, expressive languages to flourish. A meaningful and enduring experience!" - Sheryda Warrener, Lecturer, UBC's School of Creative Writing
"Amy Higgins is a very knowledgeable educator in the area of foundational literacy skills and early reading instruction. In November 2021, I attended a workshop she led where she shared her expertise on phonological awareness in an engaging, informative and interactive way. In under an hour, she educated teachers on the importance of developing these skills in early readers, introduced her 'Sound Superheroes' program, and provided many activities that could be applied to classrooms the very next day! It was a motivating and worthwhile workshop that I would recommend to any Primary teacher." - Karrie Beauchamp, Kindergarten Teacher and Early Childhood Education Program Coordinator
