You’ll also travel to Reggio Emilia, Italy to participate in a week-long study group experience.
This program also offers a Teacher of Record pathway for those who are currently employed or in the process of obtaining employment in a sole or lead teaching position.

The Boulder Journey School Teacher Education Program prepared me in ways I couldn’t have foreseen. I learned that my power as an educator lies in my creativity and advocacy. These were strengths I didn’t know I had until my time at Boulder Journey School, and I use them every day in my career.
