I"m an Early Childhood educator with roots in sunny South Africa (which means I often call a spade a spade), and a teaching journey that’s taken me around the world from Dubai to here in Perth, Australia. With a background in Applied Psychology, and Education, I’ve worn many hats, starting out as a secondary school language teacher, before finally settling in the world of early childhood education.
Over a decade ago I entered a Pre-Primary classroom, and soon saw that traditional teaching methodology just wasn't working!
By observing children closely, I discovered that they were drawn to three things.
Playing, being with their friends, and story time!
No brainer, right?
So I started searching for a way to integrate the curriculum with the way children naturally loved learning.
That’s where I found my teaching style, thanks to mentors like Doctor Claire Warden and Kath Murdoch, whose ideas on Nature Pedagogy and inquiry-based learning lit a fire in me… and my students!
I’ve seen the magic that happens when you combine structured, explicit instruction, with inquiry-based learning.
It’s like watching a desert bloom after rain, with kids’ curiosity and creativity flourishing alongside their academic learning.
Edwina has a kind and caring nature which made me feel at ease in the session. She gave me some great ideas of where to take my learning and I loved her suggestion of the floor book. I was able to discuss out loud with her my worries and concerns and she gave me strategies and ideas of how to work through it all. Edwina is so passionate and her love for her work carries through all she does.
