BIO
Christina Goodwin began her career as an early childhood educator and later served as a nonprofit executive director working at the intersection of education and community practice. With a strong commitment to mentorship and collaborative leadership, she has partnered with families, educators, and communities to create learning environments that support emergent, child-centered education. Her work emphasizes the use of observation to design inclusive, developmentally appropriate curriculum and to leverage the learning environment as a “third teacher.”
Christina believes that when schools, neighborhoods and cities actively support the education of young children, we cultivate communities of practice that honor children as citizens and elevate their voices in meaningful ways.
In recent years, Christina has served as an advocate and change agent for the early childhood profession. She was a member of Vermont’s nationally recognized task force to advance early childhood education as a profession, and she has presented this work at both the VTAEYC and NAEYC conferences. She also leads professional development for early childhood educators across the state.
Christina earned her Master of Education and Certificate of Advanced Studies in Autism Spectrum Disorders from Antioch University-New England. She also holds a Bachelor of Science in Early Childhood Education with a concentration in Human Development and Family Studies from the University of Vermont.
