Who’s the Educator Behind Iterative Autonomy?
Melody Baran is an early childhood educator, moderately obsessed with neuroscience & qualitative research, intentionally practicing her iterative autonomy in Portland, OR.
Hi, I’m so glad you’re here!
Iterative Autonomy is a practice of self-discovery based on my experience as an educator.
It’s my answer to the question: What can we do to set ALL people up to succeed?
I'm Melody, creator & curator of Iterative Autonomy, and trust me I DO know it's a mouthful, but it's also a way to define both the entire human experience AND how to live life to the fullest in just two words. This is why I feel so strongly about their value and potential to effect positive change.
Without iteration, we are denying the truth of change, the one thing that we can depend on to happen in this world. Without autonomy, we aren't really a world of individuals, we are a finite collection of echo chambers.
I've been a classroom teacher and I've owned & operated two education-based companies. For the last several years, I've had the privilege of stepping away from all of that & researching, from every angle I can think of, how we might approach education differently, so that EVERY child becomes an adult who knows themselves well & knows how to achieve any goal that they choose to pursue.
