Paula Phipps is a multi-culturalist with special interests in supporting culturally and linguistically competent programs and advocating for at-risk children and families. Her passion is developing curriculum that credits children with curiosity, creativity, openness, and a high interest in learning – and provides the knowledge and skill base needed at this time. That knowledge and skill base must now include preparation for climate change. Her new workshop, Preparing Young Children for Climate Change, was recently presented at the Cambridge Public Library.
