Elizabeth Jewett PhD, Founder
Teacher, research and learning designer Elizabeth Jewett is a co-creator of Moving Minds. She holds a PhD in Developmental Psychology from Columbia University with a concentration in Cognitive Development and Problem-Based Learning. As an educator and researcher with diverse professional and personal experience Elizabeth is interested in understanding how skills and concepts that can not be directly taught develop, the differences between formal and informal learning and the role social interaction plays in the culmination of skills and knowledge. Elizabeth’s work explores what learning looks like when it is designed to improve our ability to identify the right questions, look inward, and work together to solve problems and create new realities.
