School Partnerships

Professional Learning

Anything from 1 hour spotlights to whole day workshops.  I support teams curious about playful pedagogies, creativity, outdoor learning and meaningful inquiry. Popular focus areas include Mastering the Art of Connecting Play and Curriculum and the  Outdoor Learning Curriculum Connection Series, where participants explore ways to use; school grounds, green spaces, nature play spaces, built playgrounds and even 'unloved' concrete areas as innovation hubs. All include a spotlight on the latest iteration of the Australian Curriculum and EYLF.

I send out a fortnightly newsletter with links to resources, creative play ideas, research and more. It's called Create and Play Outside the Box. Subscribe here.

I respectfully acknowledge the Kaurna people who are the traditional owners of the land on which I live and work and pay my respects to  Elders, past, present and emerging.

I would also like to recognise the traditional peoples of this continent, whose land was stolen nearly 250 years ago. I am inspired by the traditions of learning on land, learning through story and working with community to give back to this country that we all call home. This land was and always will be the land of the First Nations People.
