This is me, Will Parnell, with a dear friend in Reggio Emilia and some other pictures from our journey. We loved seeing the children's schools and spending time eating gelato and other wonderful meals. The Italians are always so generous and open. We felt welcomed!

This is my workplace.The Helen Gordon Child Development Center back playgournd.

The university and students on our campus care enough to spend an incredible amount of attention on our children's school. The Helen Gordon Child Development Center is located in downtown portland in both an historic building, built in 1928 for children's schooling, and now in a well-designed, beautiful addition. The modern amenities make this workspace unique. I wouldn't want to be anyplace else working with children, families, staff, and university students.

I am the Pedagogical Director of the campus children's schools and also the Program Coordinator for Curriculum and Instruction Master's Specialization in Early Childhood Education. I work with Curriculum and Instruction colleagues to support teachers studying early childhood education and research and co-lead pre-service teachers in our GTEP program. I work with many different educational programs: Graduate School of Education , Curriculum and Instruction , & Early Childhood Education .
