About Heddi Craft
Heddi has worked as a classroom teacher in Kansas, Massachusetts,
and California in grades Kindergarten through sixth grade. Her teaching
philosophy was to provide children with many choices, hands-on learning
experiences, and opportunities to construct their own understanding in the
subject areas. In addition, she was a curriculum consultant in thirteen
states, working with K-12 school districts in creating local curriculum
documents that emphasized higher order thinking skills, matching
classroom practice to those documents, and creating local assessments
that emphasized projects rather than paper-pencil testing.
Heddi currently lives in Santa Cruz, CA, with her husband and three children. She runs the
Resource Center, teaches occasional classes, speaks at conferences and schools, and
works part time as a curriculum consultant.
About the Education Resource Center
The Educational Resource Center of Santa Cruz is committed to providing
educational resources, enrichment materials, and support for families and educators of
preschool through sixth grade children. The center’s philosophy is that
children should be actively engaged in the learning process and that
learning materials should match a child’s learning style.
The Educational Resource Center has been a dream of Heddi's for over
two years. The chance to start the center as part of The Mother Tree, a
beautiful space devoted to offering branches of care for women and
families, allowed the Educational Resource Center to begin in August of
2005. In May of 2006, the Resource Center moved to a location in
downtown Santa Cruz and expanded its hours to three days a week.
Heddi hopes to add more hours, learning materials for grades 7-12, and
classes for teachers as the center grows.
