    • Team workshops are a great way to learn new things, but as an individual learner, you also have specific professional learning goals that are unique to you. Engaging in professional mentoring and coaching allows you the opportunity to have individualized attention that focuses on your specific learning requirements. Not only do you get to learn at your own pace, but you also choose to learn exactly what you are interested in learning. You decide your own professional development path and you identify your own learning goals. Underpinning the mentoring process is a trusting, respectful and confidential professional relationship. I help beginning teachers and new educational leaders to gain insights through current theories and methods, equipping you with a range of practical tools and strategies that can be applied in your own particular context. Professional development supports your potential for effective leadership within your own community of learners.

Creating Beautiful Learning Spaces

From Small Potatoes

From Small Potatoes

A short and sweet post today to mention the essential role that environment plays in promoting positive behaviours and optimising learning outcomes.

Loris Malaguzzi, an educator whose own philosophies led to the development of the Reggio Emilia approach, said that their teaching approach placed “enormous value on the role of the environment as a motivation and animating force in creating spaces for relations, options, and emotional and cognitive situations that produce a sense of well-being and security.”

When our environments are aesthetically pleasing, our sensori-emotional values are stimulated and we become more positively engaged as our sense of well-being is promoted.  These environments, known as the Third Teacher, improve and enhance learning for children and teachers alike.

Have a look at Small Potatoes for ideas and inspiration on how to create beautiful learning spaces in small places.

Do you have any inspirational ideas to share? If so, we would love to hear from you.
