Individualised Education Programs
'Be Curious'
Are you an educator with a passion for health and wellbeing?
Are you looking for highly engaging experiences for your children?
Do you have minimal time to create learning experiences yourself?
Let me create an individualised education program designed specifically for the children you are working with! These are easy-to-follow programs that empower Educators to support children's growth in learning about food, nutritional choices and wellness. Early exposure to a range of foods helps build a foundation for wellness in children. Through the use of explicitly outlined learning experiences, children and educators can explore foods in a hands-on, engaging and non-pressuring way, bringing a positive connection to food experiences. All activities can be differentiated to suit a range of ages and abilities from Early Childhood through to Teens.
All programs are based around full engagement of the senses, focusing on active participation and language development. Your individualised education program will step educators through a sequence of 'Learner Quests'; combining the use of children's senses with a literacy, numeracy, science and arts-based approach, appealing to all styles of learners. There is also a strong emphasis on self-awareness and goal setting throughout all programs.
All education programs include full implementation support through Professional Development sessions for your whole staff group, or a 'Train the Trainer' approach can be taken. Alternatively, I can personally deliver the program in your setting. Direct links to the Early Years Learning Framework, National Quality Standards and State Curriculums are included.
The focus of all programs created is on encouraging children to 'Be Curious' in a safe and supportive environment. The programs are designed to create a place where children can take 'safe risks' to experience new things, learn more about the world around them in the space of nutrition, to then also take these curious learnings out to the bigger world.
These Individualised Education Programs allow educators to take on an intentional teaching approach, to build on where each child is at. Critical reflection is a key aspect of the program to ensure that teaching practices are reviewed in detail, bringing a continuous process of engagement.
Family and community connections are integrated throughout the program as a collaborate approach to learning and development.
