Whether I work with you as a classroom teacher or as a consultant, you can be sure that I'm thinking big picture. Through intensive research and personal experience, I have developed an evidence-based approach that delivers. Science has provided us with powerful insights into the ways healthy nurturing relationships support the brain in its learning development. If developed, an individual's creativity, ingenuity, collaborative skills and empathy are powerful forces, that when combined, help all the members of their community to flourish. This type of education is rigorous and promotes flow states. It requires self-aware, highly skilled practitioners who can guide children using the age-old traditions of cognitive apprenticeship.
The children in the video below chose an issue and charity they were passionate about, wrote a song, made the music, liaised with the charity, and raised funds to professionally record the audio and hire a professional film director to assist them in producing an accompanying music video. They did all this whilst holding down their normal studies. They were 10. Through the relationships we shared and the expectations they internalised, they shed their fear of failure. If you approach learning in the right way, there is no limit to what children can achieve.
