One Community welcomes Mandy Leetch to the Highest Good Education Team as our newest Partner / Consultant!
Developmental Psychology, Eco-Psychology, Family Systems Theory and Sustainability Education Specialist: With ten years of early childhood teaching experience working with children and families, Mandy is particularly interested in finding ways to help society to support the healthy functioning of children and families. She has her BA in developmental psychology from Lesley University and is currently pursuing advanced degrees in counseling psychology and sustainability education from Prescott College. She believes that appropriate developmental practices including psycho-education and ecological holism help all people develop the necessary skills for interacting with others in a way that is compassionate and respectful of their developmental needs. Her areas of interest and research include the lifelong ontogenic process of living a happy life, the harmonious re-connection of the human species with the Earth, as well as child and family centered life philosophies to raise resilient and creative children. When she’s not researching, she’s working in local food justice and urban farming, trying her hand at homesteading, or making art dolls. As a One Community Consultant, Mandy is lending her extensive knowledge and experience to develop a comprehensive evaluation/assessment and mutual feedback model for students and their teachers who use the One Community open source education program.
