About Me

Hello, I’m Lia a passionate teacher, lifelong learner, and advocate for meaningful education. Teaching isn’t just my job; it’s my calling. I believe in going beyond subjects and lessons, focusing on individuals and building meaningful connections.

Starting my teaching journey in beautiful Puglia, Italy, I’ve embraced creativity and diverse teaching styles. From applying Total Physical Response to writing educational strategies, I’ve always aimed to motivate and engage learners.

My professional journey led me to Lang Edizioni – Bruno Mondadori and Pearson Sanoma, where I collaborate on projects, attend conferences, and train teachers. 

My students, past and present, are at the heart of my teaching philosophy. Thank you for teaching me how to be a better teacher.

Join me on this journey of ‘Always Learning,’ where passion meets purpose!

Thinking routines to exploit the pictures

Thinking Routines were developed and adapted by the Project Zero research team at Harvard’s Graduate school of Education. Steps used to support thinking.

The following steps are easy to remember and can be used in different contexts.

See: What do you see?

Students observe and focus on their own ideas, take notes and share in the following steps.

Think: What do you think is happening?

What do they think? What has made them think this particular thing/aspect? What else is happening?

Wonder: What does it make you wonder?

What particular aspect or picture makes them wonder.

This routine encourages students to make careful observations and thoughtful personal or team interpretations.

Students can share and compare their precious ideas in group work.

Get your students thinking!
