Embracing Educational Design at Home: Interview with Dr. Karen Aronian

This week I had the chance to sit down with Dr. Karen Aronian, Founder of Aronian Educational Design. Karen, a past NYC school teacher and College Professor, creates learning spaces, programs and staffing for schools, hospitality brands and private clients!

I met Karen as a fellow Montessori Parent a few years ago and knew she would be the perfect person to talk about all things HOMESCHOOL as we return to this new school year with many of us doing online learning or hybrid models.

In this episode, Karen and I talk about the obvious challenges this year presents, the mindset reframes needed to embrace the challenges and new normal. We also talk about the practical action steps parents can take to set their homes up for a successful school year- at any age.

Important takeaways by time stamp:

2:37 Karen introduces herself and gives some background about what led her to this career and passion.
4:46 What does Educational Design mean?
9:10 Helping parents adjust to new environment: How do we mentally prepare and what resources do we have?
