Schools & Educators
Built with teachers, designed for real classroomsI have developed Creative Learning Experiences that have grown directly from listening to teachers working inside an increasingly crowded curriculum.
Creativity, imagination and ideas matter deeply, but finding the time and space for them can feel impossible.
One week leads to the next, planning moves on and units come barrelling over the horizon. And swimming, there is always swimming!
You will find the number of reluctant writers reduce.
You will find an increase in engagement with writing.
You will find teachers enjoying the planning and delivery of writing units.
A key pillar is supporting teachers to understand the broader aspects of writing that aren’t contained in the curriculum, making them accessible, simple, repeatable and iterative.
Whether you are focusing on audience and purpose, narrative or poetry, information texts or procedural, teachers will find the engagement and drive-to-write within their students.
❋ Beyond Curriculum Documents ❋ Professional Learning That Fits School LifePractical. Active. Immediately usable.
I deliver Professional Development as full‑day, half‑day or multi‑session after‑school offerings, for whole‑of‑school groups or specific teaching teams. Sessions are hands‑on, engaging and designed to translate straight into classroom practice.
No theory for theory’s sake - everything is built to be used.
❋ Not a Cookie‑Cutter PDResponsive to your school, not a template.
Sessions blend Creative Facilitation tools with practical writing and idea‑generation activities. We hold space for discussion, reflection and adaptation, so what we explore together adapts and responds to your students, your curriculum pressures and your context.
These are not off‑the‑shelf PDs
❋ Seeing It in ActionStudent sessions that teach teachers too.
Student‑facing story‑making sessions support rich idea generation and creative risk‑taking. They also double as powerful professional learning - teachers see Creative Facilitation principles at work, and watch students take ownership of their ideas and narratives.
❋ Learning that sticksPairing PD with Collaborative Unit Planning cycles is the most effective way to embed change. We meet with year‑level teams once a term, working inside existing planning cycles to shape writing units that connect enquiry topics, curriculum goals and student voice.
Planning becomes collaborative and ambitious.
Teaching writing becomes something to look forward to.
❋ Designed for Real LearnersReluctant writers front and centre.
These programs are designed with reluctant writers, EAL learners and students building foundational literacy in mind. Success comes from offering multiple entry points, shared ownership and structures that allow different students to access learning in different ways.
