About Karen Cadiero-Kaplan
A teacher by profession and a healer by birth, Karen has spent her life weaving the personal and the professional, the song and the drum, the ink and the paint.
Dr. Cadiero-Kaplan found her passion for teaching by using creativity and play to advance youth education. Using technology, the arts, photography, and movement to engage students, Karen understands that even the most reluctant readers will read, and students deemed at having little literacy can write the most creative stories.
“After decades of working with youth and communities from California to Malaysia, Mexico and Spain, I have come full circle to now create the educational environment I always dreamed of. One that is inclusive of all knowledge and wisdom and can be enlivened and created when we come into community.”
