Melissa A. Butler

Author and educator, Melissa A. Butler, specializes in the art of noticing and holistic learning design. She has been appreciating small things since she was a child and has built a career full of diverse projects embedded in practices of noticing. She writes for both children and adults.

She merges her academic background in curriculum, poetics, and pedagogy (M.Ed. in Curriculum Theory from Penn State University, M.A. in Creative Writing from the University of Cape Town, National Board Certification as an Early Childhood Generalist) with her studied practice of energy, meditation, and relaxation to inform her writing, speaking, teaching, and collaborative projects.

Melissa A. Butler is founder of Reimagining Project, LLC and has presented at 80+ conferences and events over the past decade. Whether writing books, facilitating workshops, supporting families, designing for learning, or working collaboratively with organizations, her expressions are guided by beautiful questions around slowness, silence, not-knowing, boredom, perspective-taking, intrinsic motivation, curiosity, play, freedom, trust, and love.
