Guides on the Journey

A Conversation with Child-Development Expert Chip Wood

Through exploring the developmental span of childhood we will learn how to be guides for our children’s journey. Learn more about the benefits of multiage classrooms and about the values of preserving childhood. Chip’s work over the past forty-five years has included being a classroom teacher, principal, parent educator, non-profit executive director, district administrator and educational consultant.

Chip is best known for his book Yardsticks (4th edition, January 2018) and his advocacy in the field of child development. He is a co-founder of the Greenfield Center School and co-developer of Responsive Classroom, a K-8 professional development approach as well as co-developer of Leading Together: Strengthening the Adult Community of Schools. He is the father of two adult children and three grandchildren and lives in western Massachusetts.

“How children see the world and how they think and act at school is affected by their developmental differences, but also by the family cultures and values they bring to the classroom.”                                       From Yardsticks by Chip Wood
