Ellen is the Primary Years Programme (PYP) Coordinator at Belvedere Elementary. Belvedere is a Title I, International Baccalaureate public school. The Professional Development Collaborative at Washington International School has provided her with many opportunities to learn about Harvard's Project Zero Thinking Routines and global competencies through the Washington International School Summer Institute for Teachers. As a result she has created several collections over the past few years with thinking routines and global competency in mind. Her collections have been designed for teachers to use in classrooms, families in her community during the pandemic, and for the Museums Go Global Project. #goglobal
