My sole-authored research paper about embodied authoring in children’s dance and storytelling was accepted into #AERA2024! Looking forward to presenting my work, learning with/from other scholars, and networking with the educational research community in Philadelphia this April!

Being a full time preschool #teacher and doctoral candidate is a lot to juggle. Often I feel overwhelmed, but today I am motivated as heck! Very proud of my #AERA acceptance, where I can share research about early childhood education equity and social justice in/through the arts.

So proud and grateful to present my sole-authored paper, “Turning points along embodied pathways: Bringing forth children’s voices through artistic ways of listening,” at #isls2024 in Buffalo! Here’s to centering children’s voices through artistic and methodological innovation!

After explaining why I will be absent to attend #AERA2024 and that I’m a kind of scientist who studies learning, one of my preschool students says, “yeah… because Mr. Muscat cares about how we learn” 🥹 #phdtwitter #teachertwitter

Me trying to tie the smallest thread ever to link a bracelet on a 4-year-old’s wrist: “I don’t know if I can get this knot” 4-year-old child: “You got this.” 🥹 #teachertwitter

Part of supporting families is helping them to see children’s conflict as important to relationship building. Through conflict and repair, children teach others how they want to be treated and show others they respect their boundaries. Friendship in EC is so readily romanticized.

#phd candidates, ever have writing amnesia?! I’ve been plugging away, writing the dissertation, and opened an old file for a tentative manuscript and found ALL this other writing I did! No recollection whatsoever of writing it Thank you, me, for being me! #phdchat

I looooove group #fitness and online fitness classes, but I wish #trainers would stop saying “you just did more work in [x]-minutes than others do in a week.” We can be motivated and feel proud without putting others down and without downplaying the complexity of people’s lives.

The older I get, the more critical pos-humanist I get in my thinking, theorizing, pedagogy, and methodology. Is this 30? 🤣 #phdtwitter #teachertwitter

I am shattered. My heart breaks for so many, myself, my family and friends, and Mother Earth. Beyond all of that, who I cannot stop crying for is all the babies who will be born into this world, with no families and dead mothers, with no future and homes, and on a burning planet.

Often I measure the emotional climate of my preschool class by the amount of spontaneous singing ❤️ #joy #earlychildhoodeducation #teachertwitter

Block play is often associated with STEM and less with the Self. Blocks teach children to rebuild, to reimagine, to try again when all feels lost. Blocks teach us about stagnancy and grit - that sometimes our walls must fall for us to grow, albeit overwhelming at first #education
