DrVivianOWindley

Dr. Vivian O. Windley

Dr. Windley is known for innumerable accomplishments, among them being Professor Emerita, the City College of New York. For 18 years she led the way in helping students and colleagues to rethink the traditional role of a teacher in the classroom. Dr. Windley gained national recognition as Director of the TTT (Training Teachers of Teachers) program. Using the "open classroom model," the role of the teacher changed from dispenser of knowledge to one who guides, facilitates, stimulates and extends children's experiences. She has taught, conducted workshops, trained and produced a seven-part radio series on education for teachers.
